[Intro]
Dm Am C G x2
[Verse 1]
Dm Am She was delivered by the grace of his hands C G Kindness, relentless, wired to be shared Dm Am People stood awkwardly and gazed across the room C G She walked with such elegance in the places that she knew
[Verse 2]
Dm Am Flawlessness, contagious, compassionate, engagement C G In these hands I belong, in these hands you belong Dm Am Foolish, segregation, scars deep beneath the skin C G Of the black man and the white man and everyone in between
[Interlude]
Dm Am C G x2
[Verse 3]
Dm Am Forever sacred was the feminine, right down to the final hour C G When every baby to be taken was to be poisoned to be soured Dm Am Bodies turning in their graves and spirits waiting to go home C G Disconnected from their holy place when the museum stole their bones
[Verse 4]
Dm Am Cry freedom, still bleeding, still waiting for a reason C G Throw these arms around the world, throw these arms around the world Dm Am Through the eye of a needle we tried to move the stone C G So heavy from its history, of shame and blood and bone
[Interlude]
C G F C G
[Chorus]
C Gather the hands to move the stone G Gather the hands to move the stone F Sing it up to the heavens C G Let it rain down on us all
(Play x6)
[Outro]
Dm Am C G
Dm Am Through the eye of a needle we tried to move the stone C G So heavy from its history, of shame and blood and bone
