[Verse 1]
E E6 E E6 E
You must be cautious, you must always be learning
E Amaj7 E E6 E
And you must tread lightly in front of powers that be
E E6 E Amaj7
You must see the sun rise with a feeling of wonder
E B7 E
Never forgetting what it means to be free
[Verse 2]
E E6 E E6 E
And you must have courage, you must be curious
E Amaj7 E E6 E
You must try absorbing all the things that you can see
E E6 E Amaj7
You can search for a lifetime for the meaning of one word
E B7 E
If you were to pick one word, that word should be "free"
[Chorus]
Amaj7
There is talk of compassion
C#m7
But it hides from the hardened
A E
And it runs like a quarry
B B7
From a senseless kill
[Verse 3]
E E6 E Amaj7
And you must find meaning in things you've been ignoring
E B7 E
And you will learn lessons that help a soul to be free
[Solo]
E Amaj7 E Amaj7 E B E E6 E
[Chorus]
Amaj7
There is talk of compassion
C#m7
But it hides from the hardened
A E
And it runs like a quarry
B B7
From a senseless kill
[Verse 4]
E E6 E Amaj7
You will find lessons for the teaching and the learning
E B7 E
And you will walk prouder 'cause you will be free
A E B7 E
Your eyes will be brighter 'cause you will be free
A E E6 E Amaj7
You can search for a lifetime for the meaning of one word
Esus4 E B7 E
If you were to pick one word, that word should be "free"
