18th of July on the banks of a not well known river
EmA
I started a journey to where I am now
BmEmA
Troubled soul, troublemaker guided by the drums of my creator

The songs are in our eyes
DE
Gonna wear them like a crown

Walk out into the street

This love it can't be beat
BmG
We're neither down nor out

There's nothing you have that I need

While I can breathe

Breathe, while I can breathe
Verse 2Bm
All those who stood together fist in air now know this
EmABm
That real division is not a scar on the land
but in the heart of every man
EmA
who began as a kiss
Bm
Not to resist, a knotted fist
EmA
Now an open hand, open face, an open page
Bm
Where history might rewrite its rage
BridgeGDEG
And the life you get to live is the one you give away
DE
To forget who to forgive is a good thing.
