Intro: EmGDCVerse:
Em
If you wanna lead, be a leader
G
If you wanna dream, be a dreamer
D
Climb to the top of that mountain and scream it
C
But remember when you get to the top
Em
Everything you say is gonna matter
G
Everything you do is gonna add up
D
It's what you asked for
C
So don't get mad when it's not what you thought
Em
Careful now, girl, with them Jezebel ways
G
Crown on your head, but you're queen of cliches
D
Little one playin' with the big boys now
C
Hope you're ready when it comes back around
Chorus:
GD
I had a dream that we were born
AmCA generation to behold
GD
Writing fires with our words
AmC
Instead of useless smoke that blurs
Em
The lines of right and wrong
D
Expression that they're told
Am
An army with a sword
C
That lingers when we're gone
EmGDC
I had a dream
Verse:
Em
If you wanna preach be a preacher
G
If you wanna teach be a teacher
D
Remember that the footprints you're leaving
C
Will tell us all who you really are
Em
It's too bad you can't see what you're worth
G
Spreadin' your legs 'stead of usin' your words
D
Character is shown by the things that we do
C
The one thing you're never gonna hide is the truth
EmG
Cause anyone can tell when you're sellin' out
DC
And anyone can fly when they're fallin' down

GD
I had a dream that we were born

An army with a sword

That lingers when we're gone
