Dm C Dm
As I raise my head to broadcast my objection
C Dm
As your latest triumph draws the final straw
C Dm
Who died and lifted you up to perfection?
C Dm
And what silenced me is written into law.
C Dm
I can't believe where circumstance has thrown me
C Dm
And I turn my head away
C Dm
If I look I'm not sure that I could face you.
Am C Dm
Not again. Not today. Not today.
Dm C Dm
If hatred makes a play on me tomorrow
C Dm
And forgiveness takes a back seat to revenge
C Dm
There's a hurt down deep that has not been corrected
C Dm
There's a voice in me that says you will not win.
C Dm
And if I ignore the voice inside,
C Dm
Raise a half glass to my home.
C Dm
But it's there that I am most afraid,
Am C Dm
And forgetting doesn't hold. it doesn't hold.
F
Now I don't believe and I never did
Dm
That two wrongs make a right.
F
If the world were filled with the likes of you
Dm F
Then I'm putting up a fight. I'm putting up a fight.
Dm Am C Dm
Putting up a fight. make it right. make it right.
Dm C Dm
Now love cannot be called into question.
C Dm
Forgiveness is the only hope I hold.
C Dm
And love, love will be my strongest weapon.
C Dm
I do believe that I am not alone.
C Dm
For this fear will not destroy me.
C Dm
And the tears that have been shed
C Dm
It's knowing now where I am weakest
Am C Dm
And the voice in my head. in my head.
C Dm
Then I raise my voice up higher
C Dm
And I look you in the eye
C Dm
And I offer love with one condition.
Am C
With conviction, tell me why.
Dm
Tell me why.
Am
Tell me why.
C
Look me in the eye.
Dm
Tell me why.
