N.C.      G  
I left my home still as a child
I walked a Gthousand sorry miles
To wait for my C/Gfather, to gather up his Gtools
He said my Gboy, you’ve got to run
Don’t wait for Gme, don’t wait for mum
We’ll come C/Gget you, when it’s safe for us to Gmove
So I C/Gwaited many years,
held back the Empain behind my tears
For my C/Gfather, to come find me like he Gsaid
And in that C/Gtime I was alone
So many Emyears without my home
I made C/Gbrothers of a different kind inGstead
[Instrumental Break]
G   G   C/G   G
And at the Gtime I didn’t know,
just how Ghard the wind could blow
Towards diC/Gsaster, and the things that I would Gsee
I Gnever found my father,
I Gnever found my mother
Even would I C/Gknow in my lifetime I will Gbe
A C/Ghero unto the masses,
to those Emborn without chances
There’s a C/Gfreedom that everyone deGserves
I know there’s C/Ggreed and there’s corruption
I’ve seen Emdeath and mass destruction
But I’m C/Gtelling you, and I hope that I’m Gheard
I will nGot be commanded,
I will C/Gnot be controlled
And I will Emnot let my future go C/Gon,
without the help of my Gsoul
I will Gnot be commanded,
I will C/Gnot be controlled
And I will Emnot let my future go C/Gon,
without the help of my Gsoul
I will Gnot be commanded,
I will C/Gnot be controlled
And I will Emnot let my future go C/Gon,
without the help of my Gsoul
I will Gnot be commanded,
I will C/Gnot be controlled
And I will Emnot let my future go C/Gon,
without the help of my Gsoul

N.C.

I left my home still as a child

I walked a thousand sorry miles

C/G G

To wait for my father, to gather up his tools

He said my boy, you’ve got to run

Don’t wait for me, don’t wait for mum

C/G G

We’ll come get you, when it’s safe for us to move

C/G

So I waited many years,

held back the pain behind my tears

C/G G

For my father, to come find me like he said

C/G

And in that time I was alone

So many years without my home

C/G G

I made brothers of a different kind instead

[Instrumental Break]

G G C/G G

And at the time I didn’t know,

just how hard the wind could blow

C/G G

Towards disaster, and the things that I would see

I never found my father,

I never found my mother

C/G G

Even would I know in my lifetime I will be

C/G

A hero unto the masses,

to those born without chances

C/G G

There’s a freedom that everyone deserves

C/G

I know there’s greed and there’s corruption

I’ve seen death and mass destruction

C/G G

But I’m telling you, and I hope that I’m heard

I will not be commanded,

C/G

I will not be controlled

Em C/G

And I will not let my future go on,

without the help of my soul

I will not be commanded,

C/G

I will not be controlled

Em C/G

And I will not let my future go on,

without the help of my soul

I will not be commanded,

C/G

I will not be controlled

Em C/G

And I will not let my future go on,

without the help of my soul

I will not be commanded,

C/G

I will not be controlled

Em C/G

And I will not let my future go on,

without the help of my soul
