I left my home still as a child
               G
I walked a thousand soary miles
C/G                      G
To wait for my father, to gather up his tools


               G
He said my boy you've got to run
                   G
Don’t wait for me, don’t wait for mum
C/G                               G
We’ll come get you, when it’s safe for us to move


C/G
So I waited many years,
                  Em
held back the pain behind my tears
C/G                             G
For my father, to come find me like he said


C/G
And in that time I was alone,
            Em
so many years without my home
C/G                            G
I made brothers of a different kind instead

               G
And in the time I didn't know,
             G
just how hard the wind could blow
C/G                                 G
Towards disaster, and the things that I would see


      G
I never found my father,
      G
I never found my mother
C/G                        G
Even would I know in my lifetime I will be


C/G
A hero into the masses,
             Em
to those born without chances
C/G                     G
There’s a freedom that everyone deserves


C/G
I know there’s greed and there’s corruption
              Em
I’ve seen death and mass destruction
C/G                              G
But I’m telling you, and I hope that I'm heard


               G
And I will not be commanded,
C/G
And I will not be controlled
Em                   C/G
And I will not let my future go on,
                           G
without the help of my soul


               G
And I will not be commanded,
C/G
And I will not be controlled
Em                   C/G
And I will not let my future go on,
                           G
without the help of my soul



               G
And I will not be commanded,
C/G
And I will not be controlled
Em                   C/G
And I will not let my future go on,
                           G
without the help of my soul



           G
I will not be commanded,
C/G
I will not be controlled
Em                   C/G
And I will not let my future go on,
                           G
without the help of my soul
