Verse:
D#                                  Bb F          
We set out to find something to hold
D#                                      Bb F   
When seeking truth the answer is the road
D#                                        Bb F   
When seeking wisdom the journey is your home
D#                                   
Fight through the wind, fight through the rain
                      Bb F   
Fight through the cold


D#                                     Bb F    
We left ourselves behind on dancing wire
D#                                              Bb F    
The loved ones we left back home will be our choir
D#                                                Bb F    
Let the doubters be, The stick, the thorn, the briar
D#                                                   
Fight through the wind, fight through the rain
               Bb F
Dance in the fire

Don't bless me
D#                Bb F
No, don't bless me
   D#                      Bb F
We don't want your blessings

Don't bless me
D#                Bb F

Chorus:

     Bb          Dm            Gm
Give me the pen, Give me the sword
     Bb                 Dm                    Gm
Let me cut away the darkness, and pin it to the wall
     Bb              Dm            Gm
Let us sing a song of beauty as before
     Bb          Dm                              Gm
Give us the wind, give us the wind, Give us the storm  (Repeat and second time end on D#)

Verse: 

Bb               F 
Pushing back the lake
D#
We found something more
Bb               F 
Like a song In a word
 D#
Like the heartbreak of birds

Bb                 F 
And there, beneath the sand
D#
Looking like the rain
Bb                 F 
We found some god
D#
And the will to change

Bb                 F                D#
We set out to find something to hold
Bb                 F                D#
When seeking truth the answer is the road
Bb                 F                   D#
When seeking wisdom the journey is your home
Bb                                      F               
Fight through the wind, fight through the rain
        D#
Fight through the cold

D#                Bb F
No, don't bless me

We don't want your blessings

Don't bless me
D#                Bb F
No, don't bless me
   D#                      Bb F Gm
We don't want your blessings

Chorus:

     Bb          Dm            Gm
Give me the pen, Give me the sword
     Bb                 Dm                    Gm
Let me cut away the darkness, and pin it to the wall
     Bb              Dm            Gm
Let us sing a song of beauty as before
     Bb                     Dm                             
Give us the wind, give us the wind, Give us the storm
