(C)Things are mov ing fast;

hold on tight and (D)you will last.

Keep

ly pride.

(Gmaj7)Get

(Em7)your

in (F#m9)gear,

keep your (Cmaj9)stride.

(C)Nev er mind your fears;

bright er days will soon be (Am7)here.

(Em7)Take (Bm7)it (F#m7)from (C#m7)me, (Em7)some (Am11)day

we’ll (Am7)all

be free.

(Ab13)Keep

on

walk ing tall,

hold your head (C6)up high.

Lay (Em7)your

right up

to the (Cmaj9)sky.

Sing your (C)brave
