Intro: Bb Ab Eb {twice}
Ooh, ooh. Ohh-ooh-ooh. Ooh-ooh, ooh.
Bb Eb/Bb Bb Eb Bb Eb/F
I have sold myself through & through. I have walked in the darkness too.
Bb Eb/Bb Bb
Felt a red sun, the living proof,
Gb Ab Bb Eb/Bb-Bb
washed my hands in the honest truth.
Eb/F Bb Eb/Bb Bb
I have carried this weight time after time.
Eb/Bb Bb
I have battled the dumb and the blind.
Eb Ab/Eb Eb
I've seen dignity fail and colours run.
Bb Eb/Bb Bb
Seen justice denied by the voice of a gun.
CHORUS: Cm(add F)/Bb - Bb Bb/D
And we walk, yes we walk -
Eb Eb7 Bb
And we walk with the power every day.
F Bb Cm(add F)/Bb - Bb Cm(add F)/Bb - Bb
Never letting the light slip away.
Bb Bb/D Eb Bb
Reaching out, reaching in - touching truth and touching skin.
F Bb Cm(add F)/Bb - Bb (twice)
Never letting the light slip away.
Eb Gb Ab Bb
And we walk with the power every day
If my faith is a fire then burn baby burn.
We've held fire long enough to learn.
Heat beneath hope is a healing light - kept alive by the flames of night.
Walk tall in the power - day after day.
And never, never, never lose sight of the way.
See the dawn come and the dusk hang.
See the power rise from an open hand.
