[Verse 1]
G#
I used to cling to the strong belief
A#m
All through life's slowly deepening grief
D#
That in every heart a dream of peace
G# D#
Longed for the day of its release
G#
Though peace was often hard to keep
A#m
Though fears and hatred still ran deep
D#
I thought one day they'd surely fall
G# D#
To the dream of peace that binds us all
[Chorus]
Fm
And blessed be those who strive for peace
C#
They shall be shot down in the streets
Fm
Blessed be the free, the proud, and the brave
C#
They shall be humbled and enslaved
Fm
Blessed be those who love and care
C# D#
Their hearts shall wither in despair
G#
Above all bless the human race
A#m
For spitting in Creations face
D#
Who knows if we'll live or die
G#
Not I.
D#/G Fm
And who cares if we'll live or die
C# D#
Not I. Not I.
[Verse 2]
G#
I used to think that the written word
A#m
Was more mighty than the gun or sword
D#
Justice, Truth, and Liberty
G# D#
Were more than just mere words to me
G#
But weapons, when in Freedom's hand
A#m
No tyranny could long withstand
D#
Nor yet delay its final hour
G# D#
Brought to dust by words of power
Fm C# Fm C# Fm C# Fm C#
[Chorus]

And blessed be those who strive for peace

[Verse 3]
G#
So I sit here in my ivory tower
A#m
Playing with these words of power
D#
Rhymes fly from my fingertips
G# D#
Songs fall smoothly from my lips
G#
To better see, I stand apart
A#m
To safer be, I veil my heart
D#
See Moses down the mountain flies
G# D#
Is he bringing truth or lies?
[Chorus]
Fm
And blessed be those who strive for peace
C#
They shall be shot down in the streets
Fm
Blessed be the free, the proud, and the brave
C#
They shall be humbled and enslaved

Blessed be those who love and care
C# D#
Their hearts shall wither in despair
G#
Above all bless the human race
A#m
For spitting in Creations face

Who knows if we'll live or die

Not I.

Not I. Not I. Not I.
