[Verse 1]
Cm                             Cm
 Beyond the boundaries of your city's lights
Cm                        Ab           Gm
 Stand the heroes waiting for your cries
Cm                         Cm
 So many times you did not bring this on yourself
Cm
When that moment finally comes
Ab               Gm
I'll be there to help

 When there are people crying in the streets

 When they're starving for a meal to eat
Cm                       Cm
 When they simply need a place to make their beds
Cm
Right here underneath my wing
Ab                Gm
You can rest your head

But rest assured I will not let you down
