C                G 
 Million mothers looking forward 
        C                  G 
They're all looking out of hand 
       C                         G      G/F# 
In the haze, they can make out a planet 
 Em                  D 
Alive or was it dead 
       C                G 
Moving out in so many directions 
      C                       G 
The inhabitants of lost and unearthed 
        C               G 
And the servants of the people 
G/F#              Em   D 
Had forgot how to surf 
 

 
C                              G 
This is not the way we want to live 
                           D 
It's not the way it has to be 
C                              G 
This is not the way we want to live 
                           D 
It's not the way it has to be 
 

 
       C           D 
But we won't stand down 
                        G      D              C 
Until there's something better showing on the ground 
       Em          D 
No, we won't stand down 
                 G 
Until the job is done

         C                 G 
Could containers, maps and mirrors 
C                  G 
Hold all the human race? 
          C                     G      G/F# 
While the smartest minds in the planet 
        Em         D 
Have no human fac 
           C                        G 
But we can feel there was something growing 
C             G 
Cooling the ungreed 
       C                         G         G/F# 
It was growing hearts and minds around the world 
       Em           D 
But no army could defeat

It's not the way it has to be

This is not the way we want to live 
                           D 
It's not the way it has to be

Until we have something solid 
D            C 
Solid on the ground 
    Em             D 
No, we won't stand down

Until the job is done

Outro 
       C                     D 
I keep walking, walking in a straight line 
      G                    C 
We're moving, moving all together 
      C                          D 
We're walking, walking through a line 
         G        D G D 
We can believe in 
       C 
'Cause every proof of light that pulls 
    D                             G 
The cries that the spirit calls inside us 
        C 
There's no way here to hide us 
    C 
And every drop of water falls 
D                             G 
Slowly wears away the walls between us 

Between us 
       C   D C D 
And we walk
