D F#m A

Until we can uncover the colors of all our faces

Then we can encourage the light

D F#m A

to hover upon us and love all our races

weaken this damn fight,

D F#m A

go up go over, tell me there's another choice,

D F#m A

But to grow older.

(Chorus)

G D

Well I wanna know, Is this a world that we

G D

wanna live in? I wanna know, is there any way that we'll

G D

be forgiven? I wanna know, is this a world that we

A G

can be proud of? I wanna know.

D F#m A

We're always taught how to learn how to burn it away now,

No never not ever no more,

D F#m

it's a battle that no one

can win and it's lasting,

Might call it a war.

D F#m A

It's taken us inside a world that

we've built up a wall against

D F#m A

barbed the wire upon the fance

we're leaving ourselves behind.

(Chorus)
