Dm
Who is the man with the gun in his hand
Without a uniform?
Who is the judge who will not hold a grudge
Against the wrongs of a king?

In the land of the brave money enslaves
the rich and the poor
Tell me, where is the sound of the underground?
Clicking a link to forward
​
Chorus:

             Dm
Lord lift us up
             Dm F
Lord lift us up
             Dm
Lord lift us up
             Dm F
Lord lift us up
​
Where is the fire that makes men desire
To grow and to build?
Our sense of purpose
Can it be worth all the blood that we spill?

In the midst of this fray
How do we weight the backbone of a saint?
How do we turn these monsters of men
Into something that they ain't?

Chorus:
​
