[Verse 1]
E A
They come from everywhere
D
A longing to be free
A
They come to join us here
D
From sea to shining sea
E A
And they all have a dream
D
As people always will
A
To be safe and warm
D E
In that shining city on the hill
[Pre-Chorus]
D
Some wanna slam the door
A
Instead of opening the gate
E
Aw, let’s turn this thing around
D E
Before it gets too late
[Chorus]
E A
It’s up to me and you
D
Love can conquer hate
A
I know this to be true
E A
That’s what makes us great
[Verse 2]
E A
Don’t tell me a lie
D
And sell it as a fact
A
I’ve been down that road before
D
And I ain’t goin’ back
E A
And don’t you brag to me
D
That you never read a book
A
I never put my faith
D E
In a con man and his crooks
[Pre-Chorus]
D
I won’t follow down that path
A
And tempt the hands of fate
E
Aw, let’s turn this thing around
D E
Before it gets too late
[Chorus]
E A
It’s up to me and you
D
Love can conquer hate
A
I know this to be true
E A
That’s what makes us great
E A
In the quiet of the night
D
I lie here wide awake
A
And I ask myself
E A
Is there a difference I can make?
[Chorus]
E A
It’s up to me and you
D
Love can conquer hate
A
I know this to be true
E A
That’s what makes us great
