verse 1:
Em C
Just like the town we lynch our own, just 'cause we don't know better
G D
Watch our own backs, all are foes, because we don't know better
Em C
Wisdom comes, and wisdom goes, if we don't grasp her tight
G D D
But if we follow, her path will be as shining light
[chorus]
Em Cadd9
May there be peace within your walls
G D
And security in your citadels
Em Cadd9
May there be peace within your walls
G D
And security in your citadels
verse 2:
Em C
Just like the slaves in the desert, we just want to go home
G D
Even freedom isn't good enough for us
Em C
And so he cries, remember, where you came from
G D D
But if we did we might not feel so good
[chorus]
Em Cadd9
May there be peace within your walls
G D
And security in your citadels
Em Cadd9
May there be peace within your walls
G D
And security in your citadels
Em-C-G-D
{bridge}
Em C
Just like the town we hang ourselves, but only for our own gain
G D D
All or nothing, we're still lost, but still I hear your voice say
[chorus]
Em Cadd9
May there be peace within your walls
G D
And security in your citadels
Em Cadd9
May there be peace within your walls
G D
And security in your citadels
