[Am] [Dm] [G]
[C] [Dm]
[C] I [Em] set the boundaries [Dm] of the ocean [G] vast,
Carved out the mountains [C] from the distant past,
Olden a man from the [Dm] miry clay,
[G] [Dm] Breed in him life, [C] but he went astray.
I own the cattle [F] and [G] kings,
I write the music [C] for the [A] whippoorwills,
Control the planets with their [Dm] rocks and [G] rills,
But give you freedom [C] to use your own will.
[Dm]
[C] [Dm] [G]
[C] I hold the waters in [D] my mighty [F]
[G] hand,
Spread [Dm] out the heavens with [C] a single span,
Make all creation [Dm] tremble at my [G] voice,
But my own sons come [C] to me by choice.
I own the cattle [F]
[G] and kings,
I write the music for [C]
[A] the whippoorwills,
Control the planets with [Dm] their rocks and rills,
[G] But give you freedom [C] to use your own will.
[Dm] [Dm]
[C] [Dm] [G]
[C] Even the oxen know [Dm] the master's stall,
[G] And sheep will recognize the [C]
shepherd's call.
I could demand your love, [Dm] I own you twice,
[G] But only willing love
[C] Is worth the price.
I own the cattle and [F]
[G] [C]
[A] kings,
Control the planets with their [Dm] rocks and [D] rills,
But give you freedom [C] to use your own will.
And if you want me [F] to, I'll make you whole,
[G] I'll only do it [C] though if you say so,
[A] I'll never force you for I [Dm] love you so.
[G] I give you freedom, [C] is it yes or no?
[G] I give you freedom, [C] is it yes or [D] no?
[G] I give you freedom,
Is it [D] yes [C] or no?
