[Verse 1]
[C]I s[Dm]tand o[G]n t[C]he [F]sta[C]irw[F]ay[C]
My back to the [Dm]dun geon
Mm, the doorway to [G]freedom,
so close to my [C]head,
while voices be[Dm]hind me
[G]still bitterly [C]damn me.
For seeking sal[Dm]vation[G]
They don't under[C]stand
Lord help [Dm]me t[C]o sh[F]oulder
[Dm]The burd[G]en of free[C]dom
Give me the [F]courage to
[Dm]be what [F]I can[G]
When I am [C]wounded by those
who [Dm]con demn me
Lord help me for[G]give them
They don't under[C]stand[F][C][F]
[C]Their lonely frustration
Descending [Dm]to laughter
Erases [G]the footprints
I leave in the [C]sand
I'm free to [Dm]travel
[G]Where no one can [C]follow
In search of a [Dm]kingdom
[G]I don't unders[C]tand
Lord, help [Dm]me to[C] s[F]houlder
[Dm]The [G]burden of [C]freedom
Give me the [F]courage
[Dm]to be what I c[G]an.
When I am [C]wounded [Em]by[C][F]
[C]those who [Dm]con demn me,
Lord, help me for[G]give [Dm]them
[G]I don't understa[C]nd
Lord, [G]help me for[Dm]give them
Forgive [G]them
I don't under[C]stand
Don't [Dm]understand
Help me for[G]give them
Don't under[C]stand
Don't understand
Lord help me for[Dm]give them
Help me forgive [G]them
Don't under[C]stand
[Dm]Forgive them, forgive [G]them,
they don't under[C]stand
[Dm]Help me to forgive[G] them
I am [C]walking, I don't understand
Lord help me for[Dm]give them
Help me for[G]give them
I don't under[C]stand
I don't understand
[C]Oh, Fat[Dm]her
