[Verse 1]
EBm
Whatever it was, is wasn't manumission
AE
To spill the blood, to pull the weed
EBm
You can bury the past, but it's a mausoleum
AE
With the ghost of a fist that won't let us be
[Chorus]
EBm
Can we bring it together,
AE
Can we call from the mountain to the valley below?
EBm
Can we make it better,
AE
Do we tether the hawk, do we tether the dove?
[Verse 2]
EBm
I kicked up the dirt, and I said to my neighbor
AE
"We keep making it worse, we keep getting it wrong"
EBm
He tucked in his shirt, he stood a little bit straighter,
AE
"We need a few less words dear, we need a few more guns."
[Chorus]
EBm
But will it bring us together,
AE
Can we call from the mountain to the valley below?
EBm
Can we make it better,
AE
Do we tether the hawk, do we tether the dove?

[Bridge]
N.C. C#m
Enduring love
AEDA
Why so much and so strong, beyond this short existence?
C#m
So don't be still
E
You say there's a long line behind you
DA
And it's hardly worth the mentioning
C#m
But I will
E
Cause we may flicker and fade,
DA
But we never will be through with this
[Verse 3]
EBm
I see this world battered but not broken
AE
There's a fallow heart, it's waiting on a sowing hand
EBm
You can grow what you want, one day it's gonna rise up
AE
So plant what you need to make a better stand
[Chorus]
EBm
And we'll bring it together,
AE
And we'll call from the mountain to the valley below.
EBm
And we'll make it better,
AE
Let go of the hawk, we let go of the dove.
[Chorus]
EBmA
I sing to you, all you true believers
(Can we bring it together) (each call from the mountain)
E
With the strength to see this and not be still.
(to the valley below.)
EBmA
I'm telling you now, find the hope that feeds you,
(Will it get any better?) (do we tether the hawk?
E
Don't let 'em bleed you of your will.
(do we tether the dove?)
