Capo 1
Sit back in Amthese day, remember Emmy ways
COh me like it, down in Gmy cage
Yes I Amam a slave, searching Emfor some freedom
Searching Cfor some freedom, so G  Bmthen
Song just abouEmt memories, Amwhat is a man with no Emhistory
Where am CI, who am GI
What is this Amplace we're just spinning in Emspace
Chorus:
I will be Amlight, oh yo yo yo Emyo yo
I will be Clight, oh yo yo yo Gyo yoD/F#  
I will be Amlight, oh yo yo yo Emyo yo
I will be Clight, oh yo yo yo Gyo yoD/F#  
AmTime will continue witEmhout you
So in the Cend it's not aGbout you
But what did Amyou do, who do you Emlove
BeCsides you, beGsides you
Many Bmdied in the name of Emvanity
Many Amdied in the mind's eye for Emjustice
We Cdied for you and still Gdo
So I say to Amyou, this is nothing Emnew
Chorus
EmTiny D/F#moment Gtime for life to Amshine, Cburn away the darkness
You Emgot one D/F#tiny Gmoment in time for Amlight to shine, Cburn away the darkness
