[Verse 1]
          Dm
We got to keep it nice and simple
         F
From the outside to the middle
          G
Keep your eye on the prize
             Dm
And keep the messages alive
        Dm
         .                              
See the prescription for the people 
       F
Is the chance to keep it equal
         G
Keep the vibe in the tribe
              Dm
And keep them centred in their pride
[Chorus]
Dm            F                   G
Let's walk together hand in hand
               Dm
My good friend
              Dm                 F                  G
And buckle up slowly from the depths of what we've seen
                     Dm
And what's been said
[Verse 2]
         Dm
From the history of division
          F
Comes the shelves in which we live in
         G                           Dm
Often imprisoned by the mind and the fear of genocide
          Dm                        F
Now be it Hitler, be it ISIS, be it Taliban, pick your crisis
     G                            Dm
Domination of the nation is never far from the nation
[Chorus]
Dm            F                   G
Let's walk together hand in hand
               Dm
My good friend
              Dm                 F                      G
And buckle up slowly from the depths of what we've seen
                     Dm
And what's been said
Dm            F                   G
Let's walk together hand in hand
               Dm
My good friend
              Dm                 F                  G
And buckle up slowly from the depths of what we've seen
