[Dm]
[Am]
When you [Am] climbed the hill of vision, as [Dm] above so it was below,
Through the apathy and derision, each step ascending you took alone,
And when [F] they pin you in the corner,
[Am] pay no [Em] heed to their drone and all,
Cause you're [Dm] not going back where you don't belong.
[Dm]
[Am]
You [Am] rose up to the ranks now, and you [Dm] worked hard for your luck,
You've only got yourself to thank now, you and everybody [Dm] else in the group,
And [F] there are hidden hands to guide you, the [Em] force is now at play,
But [Dm] you've got to learn to get out of their [Am]
way.

May your [A] song ring true and bright, [Dm] and be honed by your man,
As [A] the day gives way to night now, [Dm] may it echo through the land,
And [F] when they turn your words against you, [Em] try to grind you to the ground,
Let [Dm] them know that they might beat you, but they'll never turn you round.
[C] Oh, don't
[Dm] settle, [C] oh, not [Dm] yet, [Em] oh, [Fm] don't settle.
[G]
[Am] You sought no one's allegiance, you [Dm] were cowed by no one's hand,
[F] You [Am] outgrew your antecedents, worked [Dm] your own corner of the land,
[F] And when they set their sights upon you, come [Em] to mind the steam you struck,
[Dm] May you bid them well and wish them [Am] luck.

[G] No envy, no anger, no judgment, no no one,
Unless you [Ab] forget,
[Am] unless you forget what they did to [C] you,
[Dm] You'll be in your last days,

[Fm] Oh, [Fm] no

[Am]

[Dm] your life goes back when you don't give it.
