[Verse 1]
[Am]Mm -eh -ah, mm -mm -mm
Mm -eh -ah, mm -mm -mm
Mm -eh -ah, mm -mm -mm
Mm -eh -ah, mm -mm -mm
I've been walking
Mm -eh -ah,
With my face turned to the sun
Mm -ah, mm -mm -mm
Mm -eh -ah, mm -mm -mm
Weight on my shoulders
a bullet in my gut oh
I got eyes in the back of my head
just in case I have to run
I do what I can when I can
while I can for my people
while the clouds roll back
and the [D]stars fill the [G]night
that's [Em]when i'm [G]gonna [Am]stand up
take my [G]people [C]with me together
[G]we are going to a brand new [F]home
[E]far [G]across the [Am]river
can you hear [G]freedom [C]calling
calling me to [G]answer
Gonna keep on keepin' [F]on
I can [E]feel it in [Am]my bones
Early in the morning
Before the sun [G]be gins [Am]to shine
[F]We're [Am]gonna start movin'
Towards that separ[G]ating [Am]line
I'm [C]wading through [Am]muddy waters
[C]You know I got a made up [D]mind[F]
[C]And I[G] don't mind[Am] if I lose any blood
on the way to salvation
And I'll fight with the [C]strength
that I [D]got until I [G]die[F]
[G]So I'm gonna [Am]stand up,
take my [G]people [C]with me
Together we are [G]going to
a brand new [F]home
[E]Far [G]across the [Am]river
Can you hear [G]freedom [C]calling?
Calling me to [G]answer
Gonna keep on keeping [F]on
And [Dm]I know
[F]What's [C]around the bend
Might be [E]hard to face
Cause [Am]I'm alone
And [G]I j[F]ust might fail,
but Lord [C]knows I'll try
Sure as [Bdim]stars fa[C#m]ll off[G] the[B] sky[E][C#]
[F#]Stand up, [B]take[Am] my peop[F]le with me[D]
Togeth[Am]er w[E]e are go[C#m] ing[E]
[Am]to a b[G]rand new h[Bb]ome

Calling me to [A]answer[Am],
gonna keep on [D]keeping [G]on
I'm gonna [Cm]stand up,
take my [Bb]people [Eb]with me
Together we are [Bb]going to
a brand new [Ab]home
[G]Far [Gm]across the [Cm]river,

Calling me to [Bb]answer,
