Verse 1
And I saw that I was blessed
Bb
Gm
Eb
I saw that it was built on the backs
of the poor and the oppressed
Bb
C
I saw this end less spinning
Gm
C
Of ending up back at the beginning
F
Bb
Eb
Of headlong races to where we sat
But oh, the places we could go
Bb
Eb
With nothing turned out as I thought
Gm
Eb
But if I always do what
I've always done
Bb
C
Then I only get what I always got
Gm
C
I saw the masses yawning stolen breaths
Bb
Eb
That they might breathe the next
Tall drinks, queen ants,
Lay like embers in the rain
F
Dm
I saw all things invisible that bind me
When Lady Luck was smiling
It was that the guy behind me
Green and brown girls of the sea
Cm
Eb
You're living in chains
Bb
C
But I looked exactly like him
Gm
Bb
Eb
And saw first smoke from the stacks
I saw bullets being buried
Gm
Eb
in our old man's backs
The same words written years ago
on the back of my eyelids
national protectors
books being burned
And bodies washing in from the sea
Gm
You free
