Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]
[G][Am]
Who [G]to believe?

[Verse 1]
[Am]
Father's turned into a child
Oh Lord have mercy [G]on [Am]me
Oh [D]please [Am]look through my eyes
Look through my eyes,
it's no surprise
[G]Oh why

[Verse 2]
[Am]do they treat you badly?
When you sleep slaves
know they're free
Your pain is [G]killing [Am]me
Your shadow weeps in my [Bm]room
[Am]Weeps in my room, you aged[E] too s[Am]oon

[Verse 3]
And [Am]now? It's the prodig[G]al [Am]funk
No- one knows [D]where it's [Am]come from
One wish one [D]last [Am]fools wish
Please show the blinded road,
[Em]the [Bm]blind[Am]ed road[Bm][G][Am]

[Interlude 1]
And then I'll go
[Am][Em][Bm][Am]
[Em][Bm][Am][Em][G][Am]

[Verse 4]
Oh [Am]we, who t[G]o believe?
[Am]Mothers turned into fear
Oh [G]Lord [Am]have mercy on me
Tell feeling to pull us near,
[Bm]to p[Am]ull us near
I [Bm]promise [E]I won't com[Em]pare

[Verse 5]
[Am]And now? A strangers at my door
Offering me money to say some more
Should I take the gold and run?
Or should I play the prodigal [Bm]funk, [Am]the [Bm]prodi[Am]gal funk[Bm][G][Am]
[E][Am]

[Interlude 2]
[G][Am][G][D][Am][C#m][Am][D]
[C#m][Am][Bm][D][C#m][Am]
[D]See me gone

[Verse 6]
[C#m][C][Am][Dm][G]
[Dm][Am][Dm][G][Dm][Am]
Upon [G]your crown [Am]of beautiful white hair
I cried on
My tears flowed where flowers don't dare
To lie on or die on
Because they know [Bm]that
[Am]Wherever the truth is born
The day will come
Some say that black is despair
But you shine on
Some say Africa's going nowhere
You proved them wrong, them wrong
Cause they know wherever the truth is born
[E]The day[Am] will[Dm] com[Am]e, the day will com[Dm]e,[Am]
the day [Dm]will come.
