[Verse 1]
C
Every now and then
                    Fmaj7
I'm gonna make you cry
Am                       Fmaj7             C
You won't remember when, I won't remember why

C
Every peace I find
                  Fmaj7 
Seems to rise to say
Am                   Fmaj7             C
Live for every light, live for every day

[Chorus]
C                            G
I raise my hand, I raise my hand
             C               Fmaj7
I raise my hand, I raise my hand
C        Am      G      C
I raise my hand to the Promised Land

[Verse 2]
C
Little girl 
                         Fmaj7
you're all we've got for now
Am                    Fmaj7
You've gotta find a way 
            C
to save us now
C
It's turning dark 
                        Fmaj7
and soon the chill will come
Am                          Fmaj7
If you find it in your heart 
                     C
would you find me some?

[Chorus]
C                            G
I raise my hand, I raise my hand
            C                Fmaj7
I raise my hand, I raise my hand
C       Am      G      C
I raise my hand to the Promised Land

[Verse 3]
C
I'll say goodbye 
                        Fmaj7
and say farewell, it seems
Am
My work is done 
Fmaj7                C
no more chasing dreams
C
And if you left, 
                   Fmaj7
leave my heart to spare
Am
We could part 
Fmaj7                     C
but I'd still find you there

[Chorus]
C                            G
I raise my hand, I raise my hand
            C                Fmaj7
I raise my hand, I raise my hand
C       Am      G      C
I raise my hand to the Promised Land
        Am      G      C
I raise my hand to the Promised Land
