It's empty in the valley of your heart
The sun, it rises slowly as you walk
Away from all the fears
And all the faults you've left behind
The harvest left no food for you to eat
You cannibal, you meat-eater, you see
But I have seen the same
I know the shame in your defeat
But I will hold on [C7]hope
And I won't let you [A7choke
On the noose around your neck
And I'll find stɾength in pain
And I will change my [A]ways
I'll know my [A]name as it's called again
'Cause I have other things to [C7]fill my [A]time
You take what is yours and [Bm]I'll take mine
Now let me at the tɾuth
Which will ɾefresh my [A]broken mind
So tie me to [C7]a post and [Bm]block my [A]ears
I can see widows and [Bm]orρhans through my [A]tears
I know my [A]call [Em]despite my [A]faults
And despite my [A]growing fears
But I will hold on [C7]hope
And I won't let you [A7choke
On the noose around your neck
And I'll find stɾength in pain
And I will change my [A]ways
I'll know my [A]name as it's called again
So come out of your cave walking on [C7]your hands
And see the world hanging upside down
You can understand [Bm]dependence
When you [A7know the maker's hand
So make your siren's call
And sing all [Em]you [A7want
I will not hear what you [A7have to [C7]say
'Cause I need freedom now
And I need to [C7]know how
To live my [A]life as it's meant to [C7]be
And I will hold on [C7]hope
And I won't let you [A7choke
On the noose around your neck
And I'll find stɾength in pain
And I will change my [A]ways
I'll know my [A]name as it's called again
