And when you think of trust, don't it lead you home,
F C Dm F/G
To a place that you only dream of, when you're all alone?

Because it's just a matter of time,

Before your confidence will win out.

I told my brother how to do the thing right,
Bb F Gm7 C/G F
Lift up your head, and show the world you got pride.

But the power that love has to make it right; makes it, makes it right.
