C
He who has a tear, let him hear, that I'm here
A#
Kneel when nobody else will, I'll steer

Let my voice carry you through the void

Got another hole from a friend last week

He said I know you

Son, I got holes too

I will lift up my voice and choose

I will sing to you

When I don't understand it all
Em
When all my strength to fight is gone
Am F
I will lift up my voice and choose

I will sing to you
