_ I'm gonna _ [F] find a home and be free So now I'm sitting on the corner of Breon
[G] grind [Eb] Sixteen bullets up in my heart
For the first time I know what it feels like To be living [C] in the mind of a refugee
But [F] I read a book [C] the other day It [Eb] takes me so deep in my heart it makes me
wanna pray And this is what them pages [F] said to [Fm] me
Said to me
Me like [G] this Breon, a [Bb] lone star Me like this valley, that [D] can't be ruled
Like [F] April showers, [Bb] feeling partial for you Mary baptized you like it's Christmas [Fm] in June
And I am drifting on a Christmas [Eb] memory _ Lord Frankincense [B] and Merl lights [C] up my dreams _
_ Even [G] on a cold winter's [Eb] night _
_ The fires are burning [F] There ain't no more battering
People talking about politics and [G] we're priceless I don't [Eb] even know what to do to solve them
Tell you brother I can't even figure out How I'm gonna find [F] a home and be free
So now I'm sitting on the corner of Breon grind [Eb] Sixteen bullets up in my heart
For the first time I know what it feels like To be living [F] in the mind of a refugee
But I read a book the [G] other day It takes [Eb] me so deep in my heart it makes me
wanna pray And this is what them pages said [F] to me
[B]
Me like [Fm] this Breon, a lone [Eb] star [Bb] Me like this valley, that can't [F] be ruled
Like April _ showers, [Eb] feeling partial for [Bb] you Mary baptized you like it's Christmas in [F] June _
Only got three days in the wilderness My cousins and my [Eb] grandma sleeping in a tent
People killing each other, fighting feds just for toothpaste Got the [F] whole world locked down like a suitcase
I'm calling [C] America one time tell me what you said Please [Eb] don't put me on hold don't call me useless
I got so much to live for I can do this Nobody's [Fm] trying to beg but then it's to be some changes
I'm from all these lost miles we try to find our steps So not to [Bb] blame but won't you show me how to fix this
Ever been a man of time who cannot [Gm] stand us wishless Just give me one more minute to [E] explain why I'm so reckless
[Eb] _ _ [Fm] I am here to [F] remind you [Ebm] We're not invisible standing right here
We are [Fm] humans with hopes and fears I'm here _ to [Eb] remind you
We're not invisible standing right here We are humans with hopes and fears
Like [C] this river, [Fm]
I'm [Eb] lost now Being like this valley, that can't [F] be ruled
Like April [Fm] showers, feeling [Eb] partial for you Mary baptized you like it's Christmas in [F] June
_ Like [Cm] this river, _ I'm [Bb] lost now Being like this valley, that can't [F] be ruled
Like April showers, [Fm]
feeling [Eb] partial for you Mary baptized you like [Bb] it's Christmas in [F] June
_ _ _ Yeah, _
_ [Eb] got a little something brand new for your temples _
_ [Fm] Gives me a lump in my throat even [F] thinking about it But [Eb] _ it's not about me, _ _ it's about [F] us _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
