Chords

[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
