So there's some songs that you do which come from a completely different experience.
And when you challenge yourself a little bit, I think in any facet of [Am] life, it doesn't really matter what it is [B] that you're doing,
whether you're building things, you're a school teacher, you're a parent, you're a [Ab] student, [Eb] you're a worker, you're a thinker.
[A] When you push the envelope just that little bit, you never really quite find [Eb] out [G] what you're capable of or what will come your way until you do that.
And it's especially for us when we look back at this point [F] in time, a case [A] of letting all prejudices, [C] known and [Bb] unknown, disappear altogether.
[E] We're holding a universal declaration of human rights to our chest [Cm] and understanding [G] that in all places at all times, men and women [N] are equal and should be treated equally.
