1. Think of a time when morning will come and you will wake up
   F            C      Dm             Eb
   Without the feeling that half the world has gone insane
   F                 Am   Eb            Bb
   You'll open your eyes, reading your paper, a drink from your cup
   F           C      Dm               Eb
   No one was burning down time while you were sleeping
   Ab          Eb           Cm
   I've never seen but I believe
   C               F
   In a promised land

   F    Am       Eb            Bb
R: Why can't we pull this together?
   F    Am       Eb          Bb
   One and all, now and forever
   F    Am       Eb            Bb
   Why can't we pull this together?
   Gm              F           Eb        Bb
   We can say we finally found a world that's safe and sound

2. Think of a place that you could believe in whatever you want
   Not keep it secret, have to risk your life just to be yourself
   A place where you'll walk safely, no matter your color or age
   More than the greed of you and me decides the fate of the day
   I'd never seen but I believe
   In a promised land

R: Why can't we pull this together...

   Gm           F                    Eb                             Bb
*: I'd rather see you setting free than watch the curtains coming down

   F           Am  Eb                  Bb
3. Think of a life you won't take the breath from somebody else
   F                 C       Eb            Bb
   One where you're seeking more than yourself

R: Why can't we pull this together... (2x)

   Gm           F                    Eb                             Bb
   I'd rather see you setting free than watch the curtains coming down
