verse 1 
      F      Dm       Am 
On my feet I stand tonight 
          F       Dm            Am 
Stand and step up to the light 
        F   Dm   Am 
An extraordinary man

Unbroken in a breaking light

          F      Dm     Am 
Stand and make myself a crown 
       F       Dm     Am 
To the table I step alone 
        F    Dm        Am 
Hold my own above the ground 
        F      Dm      Am 
Take my shot under the light 
       F        Dm     Am 
Heroes come the common way 
        F     Dm     Am 
Pull myself into the sky

   Wrap me in the banner I made

Stand alone inside the air 
        F   Dm   Am 
An extraordinary man

Everything stops and holds me there
