An[Bm]d when the journey gets longer
True

[G]Jah, who [C]protects me daily
as a ragamuffin soldier
[G]He [D]will make your enemies you[G]r footsto[C]ol,
all of them are [Bm]fools
And while the heat and rage and the
people imagine such vain things
[C]I will be humble,
your [D]praises I will forever [Bm]sing
[D]Oh boy, don't [Bm]bother rush me,
you [Am]can't [Em]turn me over,
[C]Mr.
Wicked
