  Fm9                Bb7sus 
Lord, we take this journey 
   Db      C7sus   Fm11 
To find a promised land 
                    Bb7sus 
Lord, we take this journey 
    Db7    C7sus4   F5 
To find a promised land 
            Bb7       Db5 C7sus 
And we believe in your power 
      Bb7          Db5 C7sus 
We believe in your power 
   Eb9 E7/11+ Ab9 Db7      Bb7 
We believe        in your power 
        Db7 
But the end is close at hand 

Fm9                  Bb7/F 
Lord, these men are hungry 
             Bbm7      Bbm7/Eb 
There just hasn't been enough 
          AbM7              C7/9+

As the planks beneath them crack 

Pre-Chorus 
       Ab/Bb               Bb/C 
And I know it's my responsibility 
            Ab/Bb 
But I'm starving too 

And I hurt, I do 
       Bb/C 
And I'm lost 
      Ab/Db             Bb/D 
I believe in my responsibility 
          Ab/Eb 
But I need to see 
          C7/9+                 C7+ 
If the fruits will be worth the cost
