[Intro] Dm Bb Am Dm Bb Am Dm Bb Am Dm Bb Am N.C. "My father's land My mother's tongue Misleading me So shamelessly For many years I misbelieved The hatred is the path for me."

Dm            Bb          Am
Father I have killed many angels

  Dm               Bb          Am
I think I will now walk to the sea

  Dm              Bb      Am
I hope I will someday forgive me

       Dm            Bb        C
Please moor my empty boat on a pier

      Gm            Bb              Dm         Am
I can blame for the blue blood that runs in my veins

      Gm         Bb                      D9
But I seem to forget that we are all the same

[Begin Theme] C Dm Bb Am Dm Bb Am Dm Bb Am Dm Bb C Bb C Bb C [Verse 1]

Dm
In your own blaze of hate you’ve spawn a fear in many lives

You’ve taken action thinking it was all said on the signs

Gm             Eb              Gm              Eb
   You cannot heal the feeling burning deep inside your spine

Gm             Eb              Gm              Eb
   You now collapse, cave in revealing scabby marks of life

[Chorus]

Cm             Bb               Eb              Ab
   Mother I’ve seen too much, I hate to live my life

Cm              Bb                 Eb             Ab
   Forgot every word you told me, stubborn little child, (angel of your life)

Cm             Bb           Eb              Gm
   I have to find my Eden now, the gates I left behind

Ab
But the pain will remain

    F
No power to gain

[Verse 1]

Dm            Bb               Dm              Bb
  Now I have time to dwell on, self awareness, dreadful crime

Dm            Bb               Dm               Bb
  I saw the colors too bright, not knowing that I was blind

Gm            Eb              Gm                    Eb
  I slayed a man who took a chance and drank the forbidden wine

Gm           Eb               Gm                  Eb             Cm
  The map I draw reveals that I have been complete, machine, in team

[Chorus]

            Bb               Eb              Ab
Father I’ve seen too much, I hate to live my life

Cm              Bb                 Eb             Ab
   Forgot every word you told me, stubborn little child, (angel of your life)

Cm             Bb           Eb              Gm
   I have to find my Eden now, the gates I left behind

Ab
But the pain will remain

    F
No power to gain, no

[Interlude 1] Dm Bb Dm Bb Gm Eb Gm Eb Dm Bb [Bridge]

             Dm     Bb
Mother where’s your son

                 Gm    Eb
When has this begun?

                  Gm    Eb
Who has been the fool?

Cm         Eb           Gm           Dm
No one was born to be a servant or a slave

        Cm          Eb           F9
Who can tell me the color of the rain?

        Cm           Eb           Gm              Dm
In the world that we live in, the things said and done

     Cm          Eb
They can well overrun

Who can tell me the color of the rain?

        Cm           Eb           Gm              Dm
In the world that we live in, the things said and done

     Cm          Eb
They can well overrun

              Gm
The power of one

    F           Bb
To live and let die

    Cm           Eb
To give hope and take life

    Cm              Db
Is that what you’re here for?

Bb Ab Gm Fm

    Eb                Ab
To think that you're right

   Bbm           Db
To make sure it won’t fly

     Bbm         B
Is a making of a hate crime

B Fm F# Gm

        F            Bb
In the homes of the brave

        Cm            Eb
In the homes of the land slaves

Cm        Db
We are all the same

Bb Ab Gm Fm

   Eb        Ab
I need to believe

        Bbm                Db
There’s more than the eye can see

All colors of rainbow

  No one was born to be a slave

         Bb                 Am
Seek the past and place the blame

            F             Dm
Tell me the color of the rain

           Bb           Am
No one was born to be a master

In the land we live, we die

            Bb                  Am
Praise the oneness, praise the lie

           F               Dm
To bind a web around the faker

          Bb            Am
We will need a true rainmaker

(fade out, speaking the lyrics below)

“Children of Abel, Children of Cain Can live in harmony, without shame The keys that I grant thee, The Sacred Land Are dry desert sand on the palm of your hand Without the water, the wisdom of past Will run through your fingers, forgotten so fast Thus now when I leave you, I’m truly blind This blindness, this blessing, the hope of mankind…”
