[male

Gentle
piano
chords,
steady
mid-tempo
groove)
Yeah,
yeah
Sometimes
the
road
is
long,
but
the
heart
stays
strong
Listen
now
I
grew
up
where
the
walls
were
thin
and
the
dreams
were
wide
I
saw
the
struggle
in
the
mirror,
nowhere
left
to
hide
My
parents
gave
me
everything
they
had
to
give
They
taught
me
how
to
stand,
they
taught
me
how
to
live
Now
the
years
are
rolling
on
and
they’
re
getting
gray
I
see
the
weight
they
carry
more
every
single
day
I’
m
a
child
of
the
struggle,
rising
from
the
floor
But
I’
m
feeling
the
pressure
knocking
at
my
door
Oh,
Mbere
Pierre,
keep
your
head
held
high
Keep
chasing
the
sun
in
a
changing
sky
The
road
is
uncertain,
the
funds
might
be
low
But
the
seeds
that
you
planted
will
surely
grow
For
the
ones
who
raised
you,
for
the
life
you
seek
Keep
on
pushing
forward,
let
the
spirit
speak
I
count
the
pennies
in
my
pocket,
trying
to
make
it
stretch
Looking
for
a
miracle,
a
life
I
can
catch
I
want
to
heal
their
hearts,
I
want
to
ease
the
pain
I
want
to
be
the
shelter
when
they’
re
standing
in
the
rain
It’
s
not
just
about
the
money,
it’
s
about
the
care
Knowing
that
I’
m
trying,
knowing
that
I’
m
there
The
rhythm
of
the
journey
is
steady
and
slow
I’
ve
got
a
thousand
miles
left
to
go
Oh,
Mbere
Pierre,
keep
your
head
held
high
Keep
chasing
the
sun
in
a
changing
sky
The
road
is
uncertain,
the
funds
might
be
low
But
the
seeds
that
you
planted
will
surely
grow
For
the
ones
who
raised
you,
for
the
life
you
seek
Keep
on
pushing
forward,
let
the
spirit
speak
It’
s
a
long
climb
up,
but
I
won’
t
look
back
I’
m
finding
my
footing,
I’
m
finding
the
track
Every
small
step
is
a
mountain
I
moved
Everything
I’
ve
lost
is
a
lesson
I
proved
Better
days
are
coming,
I
can
feel
the
change
Breaking
every
barrier,
out
of
every
range
So
here’
s
to
the
fathers,
here’
s
to
the
mothers
too
I’
m
working
for
the
vision
that
we’
re
passing
through
I
might
be
short
on
means,
but
I’
m
rich
in
soul
I’
m
playing
my
part,
I’
m
taking
control
Tomorrow
is
a
promise
that
I’
m
gonna
keep
With
every
single
promise
that
I
make
in
my
sleep
Mbere
Pierre,
you’
re
stronger
than
you
know
Just
watch
the
light
inside
you
begin
to
glow
Oh,
Mbere
Pierre,
keep
your
head
held
high
Keep
chasing
the
sun
in
a
changing
sky
The
road
is
uncertain,
the
funds
might
be
low
But
the
seeds
that
you
planted
will
surely
grow
For
the
ones
who
raised
you,
for
the
life
you
seek
Keep
on
pushing
forward,
let
the
spirit
speak
Yeah,
keep
on
pushing
For
the
ones
you
love,
for
the
life
you
deserve
It’
s
coming,
wait
for
it
Keep
the
faith,
Mbere
Pierre
Everything
will
be
alright (
Fade
out
with
steady
groove)
