Original key is Bbm, this is lowered half a step (so fret on the 1st) [Intro] Am [Verse 1]
Am
Our ancestors had to fight to survive

Am
Just so we could have a chance of a life

Am
We're not here so we can blow it all

Am
We could bear witness to the rise and the fall

I'm trying to get back as fast I can

Back to a time before I had form

Back to a time before I was born
[Chorus]
Am
You don't have to be like everybody else

                  Am
You don't have to fit into the norm
You are not here to conform

I am here to take a look inside myself

               Am
Recognize that I could be the eye, the eye of the storm

I live in the space between the stars and the sky

What's your purpose, why were you put on Earth?

The walls are being broken and we're ready for change
