[Verse 1]
C F C
She looked out the window and said, "The world's on fire"
C F G
That's when I laughed and poured her a glass of wine
F C
We just stared at the TV
F C
tryin' to find some meanin'
F C G
Hopin' that we'd wake up from this dream
C
Sometime tomorrow
[Verse 2]
C F C
Well the night came and went, not a damn thing changed
C F G
That's when I saw a tear fall from her eyes
F C
She said, "What are we gonna do?
F C
What's this world comin' to?"
F C G
For the first time in my whole life
C
I stood there speechless
[Chorus]
G F C
The load is heavy and the road is long
Em F C
And we've only begun to fight
F C F C
We just can't give in, we just can't give up
F C G
We must go boldly into the darkness
C
And be the light
[Verse 3]
C F C
So I packed up my car and went lookin' for answers
C F G
To the questions weighin' on my mind
F C F C
When did The Land of the Free become The Home of the Afraid?
F C G
Afraid of the world, afraid of the truth
C
Afraid of each other
[Verse 4]
C F C
And this ain't the country my grandfather fought for
C F G
But I still see the hate he fought against
F C F C
Give rest to the tired, give mercy to the poor
F C G
Give warmth to the huddled masses
C
And I'll show you freedom
[Chorus]
G F C
The load is heavy and the road is long
Em F C
And we've only begun to fight
F C F C
We just can't give in, we just can't give up
F C G
We must go boldly into the darkness
C
And be the light
[Verse 5]
C F C
I got a baby girl comin' in the spring
C F G
I'm worried 'bout the world she's comin' into
F C F C
But she'll have my fight, she'll have her mama's fire
F C G
If anyone builds a wall in her journey
C
Baby, bust right through
[Chorus]
G F C
The load is heavy and the road is long
Em F C
And we've only begun to fight
F C F C
We just can't give in, we just can't give up
F C G
We must go boldly into the darkness
C
And be the light
[Chorus]
G F C
The load is heavy and the road is long
Em F C
And we've only begun to fight

We just can't give in, we just can't give up
