Intro 
B D#m F# C# (x2) 

Verse 

B                        D#m 
She was delivered by the grace of his hands 
F#                    C# 
Kindness, relentless, wired to be shared 
B                         D#m 
People stood awkwardly and gazed across the room 
F#                                  C# 
She walked with such elegance in the places that she knew 

Verse 

B                         D#m 
Flawlessness, contagious, compassionate, engagement 
        F#                       C# 
In these hands I belong, in these hands you belong 
B                          D#m 
Foolish, segregation, scars deep beneath the skin 
       F#                             C# 
Of the black man and the white man and everyone in between 

B D#m F# C# (x2) 

Verse 

        B                              D#m 
Forever sacred was the feminine, right down to the final hour 
          F#                          C# 
When every baby to be taken was to be poisoned to be soured 
      B                                   D#m 
Bodies turning in their graves and spirits waiting to go home 
      F#                                    C# 
Disconnected from their holy place when the museum stole their bones 

Verse 

    B                              D#m 
Cry freedom, still bleeding, still waiting for a reason 
            F#                                 C# 
Throw these arms around the world, Throw these arms around the world 
            B                  D#m 
Through the eye of a needle we tried to move the stone 
   F#                         C# 
So heavy from its history, of shame and blood and bone 

B D#m F# C# 

           F# 
Gather the hands to move the stone 
           C# 
Gather the hands to move the stone 
        B 
Sing it up to the heavens 
       D#m              C# 
Let it rain down on us all
 

(x6) 

Outro 
            B                  D#m 
Through the eye of a needle we tried to move the stone 
   F#                         C# 
So heavy from its history, of shame and blood and bone
