Who Will Raise Their Voice

Am   Em  D  (4x)

[Verse 1]
         Am                   Em  
When the smoke clears and the 
                D        Am
truth comes shining through
I will watch the sparks fly from 
Em         D
deadlines overdue
    C          G         C       
And make no mistake now, time 
           D
will hunt them down
         Am                 Em 
'Til the language of reason runs 
        Dm7
them to the ground


[Chorus]
    Am                        C   
And who will raise their voice as 
    F           G
the cruel winds blow?
    Dm7                        Em 
And who will call a truce? And who
               Dm
 can break our fall?
Am                         G
Whisper words of reason to those 
without a song
    Am                             
And who will raise their voice and 
Em        D
carry us along?

[Verse 2]
          Am                    
And those images are everywhere, 
      Em           D
like sand in your hair
         Am                        
From the beaches of childhood that 
Em                   D
slipped through your fingers
             C            G    
They're like years of our lives, 
     C           D
tormenting and cruel
         Am                        
Will the world look this way again,
 Em         Dm7
 silent and true?


[Chorus]
    Am                        C   
And who will raise their voice as 
    F           G
the cruel winds blow?
    Dm7                        Em 
And who will call a truce? And who
               Dm
 can break our fall?
Am                         G
Whisper words of reason to those 
without a song
    Am                             
And who will raise their voice and 
Em        D
carry us along?

[Verse 3]
So, when the smoke clears and the 
Em                  D
truth comes shining through
      Am                       
Those prophecies they made will 
 Em         D
crumble in two
       C          G       C      
Like a dark horse riding, 
             D
graceful through the night
           Am                 
You're the language of reason, 
            Em          Dm7
you're the language of life


[Chorus]
    Am                        C   
And who will raise their voice as 
    F           G
the cruel winds blow?
    Dm7                        Em 
And who will call a truce? And who
               Dm
 can break our fall?
Am                         G
Whisper words of reason to those 
without a song
    Am                             
And who will raise their voice and 
Em        D
carry us along?
Am                             Em
Who will raise their voice and 
        D
carry us along?
