[Verse]
F Bb C F
Well listen all you children of privilege
Dm Bb F
'Cause I am one of you
Bb F
I was born on a dirt road
Bb F
Out in the country
Bb F
And I wanted for nothing
C F
No trouble did I see
Bb F
So do not pretend
Bb F
That you understand
Bb F C
All the troubles that others been through
Bb F Bb F Dm
Don't point your fingers and so freely judge all the ones
Bb F
Who ain't as privileged as you
Gm Dm Gm Dm
If you never had to fight for your life or your family
Gm Dm Bb C
If you never had to live on the streets all alone
Gm Dm Gm Dm
If you've never been harassed by the ones who should protect you
Gm Dm Bb C C7
If you've never been mistreated for the colour of your skin
F Bb C F
Then listen all you children of privilege
Dm Bb F
'Cause I am one of you
Bb F Bb F
I had a good mother and I had a good father
Bb F Bb F
And together they showed me respect for all people
Bb F
Regardless of class and
Bb F
Regardless of background
Bb F
Regardless of race
Bb F
No matter their religion or
Bb F
Their preference of partner
[Verse]
Gm Dm Gm Dm
'Cause every human being will have their own story as
Gm Dm Bb C
Important as the other who walks right beside or
Gm Dm
Across their own city
Gm Dm
Across this great country
Gm Dm Bb C C7
Across the blue water to lands far and wide
F Bb C F
Well I ain't saying that I can whip you
Dm Bb F
I ain't saying I ain't already fought
Bb F Bb F
I am just trying to have more compassion
Bb F
To lead by example and to
Bb F
Turn from my temper not to
Bb F
Add to the anger not to
Bb F
Give in to violence and
Bb F Bb F
'Cause great divide between me and my neighbour
Bb F
Between me and my brother
Bb F
Between me and my sister
Bb F
There's too many suffering and
Bb F
There's too many dying in this
Bb F
World without reasons in this
Bb F
World without reason in this
Bb C
World without reason
Gm Dm Gm Dm
So don't turn your back on the ones with less fortune
Gm Dm Bb C
The ones with less privilege that could have been you
Gm Dm Gm Dm
With a slight twist of fate if they were born lucky or
Gm Dm
Born into money or
Bb C C7
Born with white skin
F Bb C F
Well I'll tell you plainly what I'm trying to do
Bb F
I'm just trying to be better
Bb F
Changing my own life
Bb F
And look towards the future
Bb F
And find understanding
Bb F
So that I might inspire you to
Bb F
Look at your own life and
Dm C C7
Think for yourself
F Bb C F
So listen all you children of privilege
Dm C F
'Cause I am one of you
