[Verse 1]
Am
Takin' the dream
how we ran
In the rage of
   Em
another plan
Am
Headin' for the
 mountain wall
Where it all
           Em
began to fall
When we heard
     Am        D D
the wind call
[Chorus]
          Am7
Take your homes
         Gmaj7
in the sun

There ain't any

need to run

You've been here,

[Verse 2]
            Am
Through our families
we had eyes to see
           Em
What could really be
        Am
We were making
 plans in the
Promise land
    Em
Far away from the
shining sea

For some it wasn't easy
             Am7        G
Living in an old dream
                Am7
There's so many rocks

 in the stream

Do you know what I mean?

We are livin' in a time

 that is ours to share
      Am
Catch up don't you

stray too far behind
        Am
For the time has come
         Em
for us to really care
          G
Would you trade me
      Bm        Am
your dream for mine?
