F#m
Some want to see
Those who've gone above
Bm
Friends that they lost
F#m
People they love
I'd rather meet
Freedom than roam
   Bm
To lead me through the fog
F#m
Couldn't ask for more

Chorus:
A
Children
Take a living
Gotta keep up
                                 D
You got to give a little, get a little
And see it
             A    F#m
Like future people

Some things could be
Seen from above
Thread of design
Don't trip me up

Chorus

F#m
Listen to teachers
Bm
Imagine a sound
Listen loud
                            A
And then they'll reach the top
