G F C
It’s a misappropriation of funds, protect my ninety percent with my guns
G F C
Whose side am I on? Well, who’s winning?
G F C
My kingdom’s built with the blood of slaves, orphans, widows, and homeless
graves
G F C
I sold their souls just to build my private mansion

Down, down, down on me

Bridge:
G C G C
Come to me and find your life
G C G C
Children sing, Zion’s in sight
Verse 2: (same chords as verse 1)
I said don't trade your name for a serial number
Priceless lives were born from under graves where I found you
Say, my name ain’t yours, and yours is not mine
Mine is “the Lord” and yours is “my child” (that’s how it’s always been)
Time to make a change, leave your home, give to the poor all that you own
Lose your life so that you can find it
First will be last when the true world comes, living like a humble fool to
overcome
The upside-down wisdom of a dying world
Zion’s not built with hands, and in this place God will dwell with man
Sick be healed and cripples stand, sing Allelu
My kingdom’s built with the blood of my Son's selfless sacrifice for everyone
Faith, hope, love, and harmony
I said let this world know me by your love
By your love
Chorus 2: (Same chords as chorus 1)
Oh my child, daughters and sons
I made you in love to overcome
Free as a bird, my flowers in the sun
On your way to Mount Zion
All you slaves, be set free
Come on out child, and come on home to me
We will dance, we will rejoice
If you can hear me then follow my voice
