Key: C
Introduction:
Am
In our youthful condemnation the truth speaks for itself
Dm Am
That in an hour of darkness, Someone cried for help
So he told a simple story of innocents and lies,
Dm Am
How the truth became so twisted, in a single judges eyes.
(chorus)
Dm Em Dm
Our brave new rainbow nation, was floating on the tide
Em Dm
in a sea of expectation, and a hard won sense of pride
Em Dm
but the wave of solidarity, that swept across our land
Em
was broken on the rocks left lifeless on the sand
(verse 2)
