[Verse]
D Em
There's a million reasons to hesitate
G C
With a history that's filled with hate
D Em
Have we ever been united states?
G C
I wonder (oh, oh, oh)
D Em
So who can blame us for the doubt
G C
Forgive me if I think out loud
D Em
But we're just as just won't come around
G C
I wonder (oh, oh, oh)
[Pre-chorus]
D Em
I was born with two,dirty hands
G C
Something my daddy didn't understand
D Em
Something his daddy didn't understand
G C
So it starts with me
D Em
I was raised with distrust, in my heart
G C
Momma told me we're in worlds apart
D Em
Her momma told her don't even bother
G C
So it starts with me
[Chorus]
D Em
'Cause we can be free, yeah I know that
G C
Let's try to fix the things that's been broke down
D Em
'Cause we can be free, yeah I know that
G C
And it starts with me
D Em
'Cause we can be free, yeah I know that
G C
Let's try to fix the things that's been broke down
D Em
'Cause we can be free, yeah I know that
G C
And it starts with me
[Verse]
D Em
With a heavy road in front of us
G C
And a system that has lost our trust
D Em G C
Can we ever find the strength to rise from ashes?
D Em
And looking at the heart of it
G C
The healing nearly can't begin
D Em G C
Without confession and forgiveness and compassion
[Pre-chorus]
I was born with two,dirty hands
G C
Something my daddy didn't understand
D Em
Something his daddy didn't understand
G C
So it starts with me
D Em
I was raised with distrust, in my heart
G C
Momma told me we're in worlds apart
D Em
Her momma told her don't even bother
G C
So it starts with me
[Chorus]
D Em
'Cause we can be free, yeah I know that
G C
Let's try to fix the things that's been broke down
D Em
'Cause we can be free, yeah I know that
G C
And it starts with me
D Em
'Cause we can be free, yeah I know that
G C
Let's try to fix the things that's been broke down
D Em
'Cause we can be free, yeah I know that
G C
And it starts with me
[Bridge]
C Em
One day (One day, one day, one day, one day)

Love is gonna move the needle
D
I can feel it in my heart tonight
Oh yeah

Can you feel it in your heart tonight?

Love is gonna move the needle

I can feel it in my heart tonight
D

I can feel it in my heart tonight

One more step, almost free (Almost free, almost free)

Say I need you and you need me
G C D Em G C
Father give us eyes to see
[Chorus]

D Em
'Cause we can be free, yeah I know that
G C
And it starts with me
D Em
'Cause we can be free, yeah I know that

'Cause we can be free, yeah I know that
G C
And it starts with me
D Em
This language that I speak
G C
This dream on you and me
D Em
But one choice from together
G C
It starts with me
This language that I speak
G C
This dream on you and me
D Em
But one choice from together
G C
It starts with me
