Bm   A         G   Bm      A             G
When I have my day, I come down from the hill
Bm   A           G    Bm   A           G
With light on my face, and death at my heels
D              Bm   A   D             Bm      G
And my voice it bends,   but my voice does not break

Bm   A         G   Bm       A      G
When I have my day, I enter white buildings
Bm   A              G         Bm   A            G
With chairs lined up straight, for all of God's children
D                Bm    A  D                  Bm         G
They wonder but ask not,   "Are your fingers long enough to play?"

Bm   A         G   Bm   A            G
When I have my day, my brothers lurk coyly
Bm   A          G    Bm     A           G
With daggers in hand, hatch plans to disrobe me
D                 Bm   A   D                      Bm      G
My brothers are precious,   and the chaff must be burned away

G             A    Bm               D
When I have my day, the song that I sing
G                   A      Bm                    D
Carries back to the source, and back through them and me
G            A        Bm                    D
Did you know brothers, your voice your king once was your slave
G            A        Bm                    D
Did you know brothers, your voice your king once was your slave
G            A        Bm                    D
Did you know brothers, your voice your king once was your slave
