  E                     D
   We saw the children running through the streets
  E                       D
   We saw the blister on the soles of their feet
  E                   D
   We saw the people searching for salvation
  E                   D
   We saw the blind leading the nation

  E                        D
   We heard the speeches talking about a revolution
  E                   D
   Heard the leaders lying to the nation
  E                      D
   We heard the wisemen preaching socialist solutions
  E                D                  E-D-
   Heard the nation cry out in confusion
  E                   D 
   We saw with our eyes, heard with our ears
  E 
   The light high in the sky
  D
   The voice that calmed our fears
  E               D
   We saw the man nailed on the tree
  E                      D
   We heard him say "The truth will set you free"
