Help me sing

All you weary strangers raise your voice

In this chain gang chorus in our younger days
My brothers, we were naive sailors

Storms we'd all endure

Oh the road, oh you who sing her praises, are dust and bones
Am
The places that she takes us, the choice is ours

We wanted much more than our fathers
G
While our mothers said their prayers
C C/B
Now moving on up, to the east side
E
We finally got a piece of the pie
Of the pie

Your patient hearts in waiting, bless your heart
And your never ending patience

I could not go on without you

We're all the same

All blue and bright white collars, we're all the same

Our troubles and our sorrows and underneath
Blood and bone and mixture

Though we dance to different songs

octave chords)

And your momma's alright

And your daddy's alright

They just seem a little bit weird
Am
No surrender,
Outro:

Every man, every woman with a burden raise your hands

Raise'em up to the firmament, see those hands
Meet your brothers and your sisters, use your hands

We are our father's sons
