We Are Not Helpless Stephen Stills
We Are Not Helpless
[D]We are not [D/C]helpless, we are [D/B]men
D/Bb G G/f# Em A
What lies between us it can be set aside and ended
[D]Ev'ry[D/C]day we learn m[D/B]ore how to hate[D/Bb]
G G/f# Em A
Shut the door and then we tell ourselves we can't relate
[D]Only [D/C]to the ones who [D/B]are the same[D/Bb]
G G/f# Em A
Yet even they are diff'rent and ever so they shall remain
All are [G]strangers, all are [Bm]friends
All are [G]brothers
Open up, my friend, and learn to hear
For even lying when it has nothing you should fear
If you cannot let yourself be known
By anyone then you are hiding and not whole
All are strangers, all are friends
All are brothers,
We, your children, we would ask you all
Please do not hide your eyes and listen when we call
We will whisper, shout or make a scene
We are the answer for we can live the peace we dream
All are strangers, all are friends
All are brothers, oh yeah, oh yeah
D Dsus4 (troughout this verse)
Yes, America's children
Are askin' ev'rybody some questions about how it is
Yes, America's children
Are makin' it hard to look them in the eyes
America's children
Are makin' it hard to live lies, you know, whoa, it is
And America's children
Yes, and it's r[D7]ight on, children of the earth, and it's right on
Children of the earth, and it's right on
Children of the earth and it's right on, right on, yeah
This is what has made our nation free
For life is change and only blind men cannot see
The new order is upon us now
It is the children they have the wisdom to be free
All are strangers, all are friends
All are brothers
