Verse 1: (you can use the chords, or the intro...either one sounds good)

Am                     F
A kid came up to me now just the other day
Am                     F
And asked me if I thought about what I would say
Am                      F
If everything came crashing down on top of me
Am          F
How would I stay torn?

Chorus:
C              G
Will you represent?
G               Am
Will you stand close?
Am              F
Will they shame you?
F           G
Will they blame you?


Verse 2:

Am                            F
It’s funny how the words of a child can be
Am                            F
Simple, but the thought there is so meaningful
Am                            F
Makes me wonder what I would say to me
Am             F
In the eyes of another


Chorus:

C             G
Will you represent?
G               Am
Will you stand close?
Am              F
Will they shame you?
F           G
Will they blame you?

C             G
There’s a consequence
G             Am
For the path you chose
Am               F
Will they change you?
F                    G
Will they make you who you are?
Will they make you who you are?
Will they make you who you are?


Verse 3:
Am            F
Let the free world ride your way
Am                F
In these times of darkened days
Am             F
Let the free world ride your wayyyyy-yayyy(let the free world ride your way)
ooooh ooooh oooh

Ending Chorus:

C            G
You will represent
G             Am
You’ll stand close
Am                F
They won’t shame you
F             G
They won’t change you

C               G
There’s a consequence
G             Am
For the path you chose
Am                 F
They can’t change you
F                     G          C 
They can’t make you who you are not.
