Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
[Am] Walking down these lonely [Dm] streets,
[Am] Brooklyn nights under my [Dm] feet,
[G] City’s noise is a symphony, [Em] but I’m still feeling incomplete.

(Chorus)
[F] Guilty Verdict on my [C] mind,
[G] Searching for the truth we [Am] find,
[Dm] Breaking chains that once confined,
[F] Stand up, it’s our time to [G] redefine.

(Verse 2)
[Am] Voices echoing in the [Dm] night,
[Am] Speaking up for what is [Dm] right,
[G] In the darkness, we ignite, [Em] Bringing hidden truths to light.

(Chorus)
[F] Guilty Verdict, hear our [C] plea,
[G] In the court of life, we [Am] decree,
[Dm] Striving for a world that’s free,
[F] Sing it loud, the anthem of the [G] Spree.
