Running Uphill

Em7 G A7 A7 Em7 G How many times must we do this to ourselves D D Been on our knees a million times, asking for your help Em7 G Of all the answers that I don't understand D D Like I did not draw the firing line but I know just where to stand Cadd9 Em7 Nobody told me must have heard it on the news Cadd9 Em7 People with nothing still had everything to lose G Cadd9 It's like running up hill G Cadd9 It's like running up hill Em7 G In the Corner of a graveyard a mother kneels to pray D D To the memory of a son that slowly fades away Em7 G In this part of the graveyard the sun no longer shines D D There's no fences or barbed wire but still she's doing time Cadd9 Em7 Until she gets the answers to the questions that she asks Cadd9 Em7 It's hard to build a future when your haunted by the past G Cadd9 It's like running up hill G Cadd9 It's like running up hill Am Em As the bodies hit the pavement Am Em The world seen what you've done Am Em As the bodies hit the pavement Am G Em D Someone was singing "we will overome" G Cadd9 It's like running up hill G Cadd9 It's like running up hill Em7 G Now everybody gathered here on Central Drive D D Is marching in the shadow of the truth you tried to hide Em7 G And every footstep taken is a breaking of your law D D For your justice never added up to the murder that we saw. Cadd9 Em7 Time won't make no differene to the people who still care Cadd9 Em7 In thousands we march the streets still knowing that you're there G Cadd9 It's like running up hill G Cadd9 It's like running up hill G Cadd9 It's like running up hill
