        G           G 
We are riding the wind  
    C               G 
We are sailing the storm 
            G           G 
Through a new age of darkness   
        C               D 
We are helmsmen of the dawn 
            G               G 
Though are captains have deserted  
    C               G 
And all hopes contraband 
            G               G 
We will bring this ship to harbour  
            C   D           G 
Where the sun breaks on the land 
 

 
        G                   G 
Oh you seers of new world order 
        C               G 
See the seeds you have sewn 
            G           G 
With your mantras of money 
            C                   D  
You take more than you should own 
        G               G 
See how privilege and power  
            C           G 
Crush the hopes of the poor 
        G                   G 
Can you really claim that all this pain 
    C       D       G 
Can open heaven's door 
 

 
        G           G 
We are riding the wind  
    C               G 
We are sailing the storm 
            G           G 
Through a new age of darkness   
        C               D 
We are helmsmen of the dawn 
            G               G 
Though are captains have deserted  
    C               G 
And all hopes contraband 
            G               G 
We will bring this ship to harbour  
            C   D           G 
Where the sun breaks on the land 
 

 
        G               G 
See the news of the nations 
  C             G   
War and hunger abound 
        G               G 
Hear the cries of the children 
        C               D 
From each continent resound 
            G               G 
While you chant your false promise 
            C           G 
You can't hear what they say 
        G               G 
Nor reflect on those dead eyes 
        C          D         G     
From which hopes been blown away 
 

 
        G           G 
We are riding the wind  
    C               G 
We are sailing the storm 
            G           G 
Through a new age of darkness   
        C               D 
We are helmsmen of the dawn 
            G               G 
Though are captains have deserted  
    C               G 
And all hopes contraband 
            G               G 
We will bring this ship to harbour  
            C   D           G 
Where the sun breaks on the land 
 

 
        G               G 
See the young on our streets  
C                   G         
Walking poverty's beat  
        G               G 
Staring in at barred windows  
        C               D     
Where their futures in retreat  
    G                   G 
Hopelessness sleeps in doorways  
            C       G     
Cast from your covenants  
     G                  G 
You turn rich cities ghettos  
        C   D       G 
Into concentration camps   
 

 
        G           G 
We are riding the wind  
    C               G 
We are sailing the storm 
            G           G 
Through a new age of darkness   
        C               D 
We are helmsmen of the dawn 
            G               G 
Though are captains have deserted  
    C               G 
And all hopes contraband 
            G               G 
We will bring this ship to harbour  
            C   D           G 
Where the sun breaks on the land 
 

 
        G           G 
See our farmers and workers  
            C           G 
Those who debt has bowed down  
        G               G 
You foreclose on their futures  
    C                   D 
In our cities and our towns  
        G               G 
You are scorching our earth  
            C               G 
While you retreat with the wealth  
            G            G 
That you steal from the people  
        C           D          G 
Neath a screen of lies and stealth   
 

 
        G           G 
We are riding the wind  
    C               G 
We are sailing the storm 
            G           G 
Through a new age of darkness   
        C               D 
We are helmsmen of the dawn 
            G               G 
Though are captains have deserted  
    C               G 
And all hopes contraband 
            G               G 
We will bring this ship to harbour  
            C   D           G 
Where the sun breaks on the land 
 

 
       G               G 
You have trained hordes of minions 
C                              G 
Filled their minds with your greed 
            G               G 
Made them prey on their people 
        C               D 
Feeding with a frenzied need 
            G        G 
But the history of peoples 
            C           G 
Show they're better than you 
            G       G 
And the love of the many 
        C           D       G 
Will bring all the people through
