The Power (with Little Richard)

Bb* 113341
Bb Bb* Bb
I have sold myself through and through
Eb [Bb]
I have walked in the darkness too
Bb Bb* Bb
I've felt a red sun, the living proof
F# Ab Bb
Washed my hands in the honest truth
Bb Bb* Bb
I have carried this weight time after time
Eb [Bb]
I have bettered the dumb and the blind
Bb Bb* Bb
I've seen dignity fail and colors run
Eb [Bb]
Seen justice denied by the voice of a gun
Bb Bb*-Bb
And we walk, yes we walk
Eb Bb
And we walk with the power every day
F F7 Bb
Never letting the light slip away
Bb Bb*-Bb
Reaching out, reaching in
Eb Bb
Touching truth and touching skin
F F7 Bb
Never letting the light slip away
Eb F# Ab Bb
And we walk with the power every day
If our faith is a fire then burn baby burn
We've had fire long enough to learn
Keeping me whole is a healing light
Kept alive by the flames of night
Walk tall in the power day after day
Never, never, never lose sight of the way
See the dawn come and the dusk end
See the power rise from an open hand
