[Verse]
D
Nine days before I was born you were gone
D G
But what you left behind
Bm
Great architect of health reform came forth
G D G D
From your soft heart and tougher mind
D
When nothing good comes easy
D G
We fight for the dreams that we hold
Bm
When you finally got that bill through though
G D G D
You had to stuff their mouths with gold
[Chorus]
Bm G D
And the purpose of power is to give it away
Bm G D
This is my truth tell me yours
Bm G Bm
And freedom won’t be freedom until poverty is gone
G A D G A D
So Nye, your dream’s alive and strong

D
Nurse tired and drained it’s 2 a.m.
D G
She’ll summon up the strength again and smile
Bm
It’s not for the wage she does this job
G D
It’s a greater call that cannot be defined
D
The surgery, the plaster tape
D G
The arm around the aching and confused
Bm G
And drugs to give a little one more time to play
D
Should never be refused
[Chorus]

And the purpose of power is to give it away
Bm G D
This is my truth tell me yours
Bm G Bm
And freedom won’t be freedom until poverty is gone
G A D (G A D G)
So Nye, your dream’s alive and strong
