[Em]Tear down the walls[B]
And show your courage [Am]as

Embarking on the jour[B5]ney
yet [B]to come
[Em]There is [B]no time to waste The wretched

Your fu[G]ture if you [F#m]let their wi[F#5]ll be [C5]done[B]

Against [C5]all [D]odds we
will [B]sur[B5]vive
[G]

[Verse 7]
[B]The last shall be [B5]firs[C]t
Give it [D]time
If in the [Em]en d we're still a[B]live[D#m]

Will prove in [D#m]time that we
[B]were rig[Em]ht all alo[A]ng
