Verse 1
(A minor) of us, respons (E minor) ible
Every one (A minor) of us helped
to (E minor) bloody the streets
A (D minor) mother cries, her (E minor) baby's gone
We (F major) shield our eyes,
so (E minor) blind to all we see
You and (A minor) I, we're (E minor) a couple, boy
While (A minor) buildings burn, (F major)
are we (E minor) broke with defeat?
The (D minor) color lines, these (E minor) bar riers
Will (F major) they define the (E minor) war for you and me?
(A minor) I am not (E minor) on my own
Please (D minor) say that you agree (G major)
That (A minor) while our children die (E minor) alone
We (A minor) can (E minor) not plead (D minor)
We (A minor) fear the (E minor) bathroom
Afraid (D minor) of who we'll (G major) meet
(E minor) Oh, the (A minor) hands clenched till the (E minor) life is gone
And (A minor) we cannot (E minor) breathe (D minor)
For (A minor) years we've wept,
mourn (E minor) ing our own
Our (A minor) pain has kept strong their (E minor) memories
And (D minor) yet they say, time (E minor) to move on
Live (F major) for today, that's (E minor) all just history
Here I (A minor) stand, in front (E minor) of you
To (A minor) share the ache and this (E minor) love while I sing
So (D minor) raise it high, your (E minor) hands and mine
They (F major) can't deny the
(E minor) power that we bring
(A minor) I am not on (E minor) my own
I (D minor) know that you agree
(G major) Oh, that (A minor) while our children die (E minor) alone,
we (A minor) cannot (E minor) breathe. (D minor)
(A minor) We fear the (E minor) platform,
afraid (D minor) of who we'll (G major) meet. (E minor)
Oh, the (A minor) hands clench till (E minor) the life is gone.
Oh, and (A minor) we cannot (E minor) breathe. (D minor)
I want out (E minor) (F major) (E minor)
(D minor) (E minor) (F major) (F sharpdim) (B major)
(E minor) Six humans trapped by happen (F sharp minor) stance
In bleak and bitter cold
Each (G major) one possessed a stick of (F sharp minor) wood
are so the story's told. (E minor)
Their dying fire in need (F sharp major) of logs,
(F sharp minor) the first man held (G major) his back,
for of the faces (G sharpdim) round the fire,
(E major) he noticed one was (F sharp minor) black .
The next man, looking cross the way,
saw one not of his church,
and couldn't bring himself
to give the fire his stick of birch.
The third one, set in tattered clothes,
he gave his coat a hitch.
Why should his log be put to use
to warm this idle rich?
The rich man just sat back
and thought of the wealth he had in store
and how to keep what he earned
from the lazy, shiftless poor.
The black man's face bespoke revenge
as the fire passed from his sight,
for all he saw in his stick of wood
was a chance to spite the white.
The last man of this forlorned group
did not expect for gain,
giving only to those who gave
was how he played the game.
Their logs held tight
in death's stilled hands
was proof of human sin.
They didn't die from the cold without.
They died from the cold within.
