[Intro]
Dm
[Verse 1]
DmI been walkin' with my face turned to the sun
Weight on my shoulders, bullet in my gun
Oh, I got eyes in the back of my head just in case I have to run
N.C.
I Do what I can when I can while I can for my people
G CWhile the clouds roll back and the stars fill the night
[Chorus]
Am C DmThat's when I'm gonna stand up
C/E FTake my people with me
C/E C BbTogether we are going to a brand new home
Am C DmFar across the river
C/E FCan you hear freedom calling?

BbGonna keep on keepin' on
Am C DmI can feel it in my bones
