Cadd9: x32033
[G]Why do we [Bm]sit down when [Cadd9]all should be [G]standing?
And [G]why do we [Bm]back down at the [Cadd9]critical [G]moment?
Like [Em]running a[D]way from the [Cadd9]waves of the [G]ocean
We [Em]head for the [D]hills with the [Cadd9]high tide app[G]roaching
As [Am]sand slips a[Bm]way from the [Cadd9]castle[D].
When it's [G]time to stand [Bm]upright, then [Cadd9]why do we [G]falter?
Like [G]placing our [Bm]freedom on the [Cadd9]sacrificial [G]altar
We hold [Em]tight to our [D]fears and de[Cadd9]fend our opp[G]ressors
As we [Em]fight for their [D]lies and be[Cadd9]come the trans[G]gressors
As [Am]pacifists transfo[Bm]rm to violent agg[Cadd9]ressor[D]s.
But [G]I'm only a [D]stranger here, and I'm a [Em]long, long way from my [Cadd9]home,
And they [G]say I can't change all the [D]things I find strange,
For [Em]what can one man do a[Cadd9]lone?
I say, [Em]what can one [D]man do a[Cadd9]lone?
[G]When is the [Bm]right time to [Cadd9]stand up for [G]freedom?
Could it [G]be when you [Bm]start to fear [Cadd9]creating [G]children
Who'll in[Em]herit the [D]pain and the [Cadd9]debt of this [G]nation
And be [Em]slaves to the [D]banks that cause [Cadd9]hyperinf[G]lation
Who are [Am]masters of commerce, [Bm]lies, and bad legis[Cadd9]lation? [D]Woah!
If you [G]looked in the [Bm]eyes of a [Cadd9]thousand young [G]children
Through [G]fences of [Bm]razors, their [Cadd9]innocence st[G]olen
As the [Em]red flag of t[D]yranny [Cadd9]flies in the [G]open
Is [Am]that when you'll [Bm]finally [Cadd9]notice? [D]Woah, wo-o-oah!
But [G]I'm only a [D]stranger here, I'm a [Em]long, long way from my [Cadd9]home
And they [G]say I can't change all the [D]things I find strange,
For [Em]what can one man do a[Cadd9]lone?
Yes, [Em]what can one [D]man do a[Cadd9]lone?
I'm [Am]only a stranger [Bm]looking to find better [Cadd9]nature in my fellow [G]man[D]
But they [Bm]keep telling me it's a [Cadd9]sin to be free, and that's [Em]more than I'm [D]willing to [Cadd9]stand
[G]Where will you [Bm]be when the [Cadd9]order is [G]given
To [G]censor your [Bm]mind as free [Cadd9]speech is for[G]bidden
As [Em]martyrs for [D]peace from the [Cadd9]world will be [G]driven
A[Em]way by the [D]sound of a [Cadd9]bellowing [G]thunder
And [Am]choke on the blood[Bm] of a dream going [Cadd9]under[D]
As [G]arrogant [Bm]men tear up [Cadd9]our consti[G]tution
And from [G]ev'ry di[Bm]rection we [Cadd9]cry revo[G]lution
[Em]Standing to[D]gether and [Cadd9]without per[G]mission
[Em]Soldiers for [D]Truth in the [Cadd9]War of Att[G]rition
The [Am]love of our countr[Bm]y as our ammu[Cadd9]nition? [D]Woah, wo-o-oah!
But [G]I'm only a [D]stranger here, I'm a [Em]long, long way from my [Cadd9]home
And I'm [G]going to change all the [D]things I find strange
For [Em]I am not one man a[Cadd9]lone
[G]Yes I'm only a [D]stranger, I'm a [Em]long, long way from my [Cadd9]home
And I'm [G]going to change all the [D]things I find strange
For [Em]I know that I'm not a[Cadd9]lone
Yes [Em]I know, [D]I'm not a[Cadd9]lone
Not a[G]lone
