[Bridge]
Dm D#
Speak very softly
Dm D#
Hold my hand
Dm D#
Someone is sleeping
Dm D#
In my bed
Dm D#
Priests pass by
Dm D#
Worms crawl in
Dm D#
One dreams to be
Dm D#
One dream for all
[Chorus]
G D# D
His skin is the same as yours
G D# D
Is he not made the same as you?
G D# D
And some have fallen down
G D# D
And blood spilled on the ground
Dm Gm Dm
Work, work, work
Dm Gm Dm
'Til his life is done
[Instrumental Brake]

D# Gm
The old man
D# Gm
Is at our door
D#
And he's knocking
Gm
Knocking
[Third Verse]
D# Dm
As his neighbors weep
D# Dm
Each day repeats
D# Dm
Are we nothing in your eyes?
D# Gm
Someone answer, someone answer
[Fourth Verse]
D# Gm
This rusted garden gate
D# Gm
Can barely even stand
D# Gm
Their work is over now
D# Gm
And rest will be at hand
[Chorus]
G D# D
Is their skin not the same as yours?
G D# D D# Gm
Can they sit at the table to drink cool water?
D# Gm
Cool water
D# Gm
And his lungs are filled with rain
D# Gm
And the water's rushing in
