G C G C G D 
 
       G                   
I will rise from my bed 
        C         G 
With a question again 
C            G 
As I work to inherit  
D 
The restless wind 
G 
The view from my window 
   C        G 
Is cold and obscene 
C         G 
I want to touch 
        D            G       
What my eyes haven't seen 
G 
But they have packaged our virtue 
C            G 
In cellulose dreams 
C               G 
And sold us the remnants 
        D 
Til our pockets are clean 
        G 
Til our hopes fall 'round our feet 
         C            G 
Like the dust of dead leaves 
C              G 
And we end up lookin' 
     D          G 
Like what we believe 
       C            G 
We are soot-covered urchins 
        C         D 
Running wild and unshod 
        G         C 
We will always be remembered 
       D          G     C   G  C C/B  D   
As the orphans of God 
     G 
Like bees in a bottle 
       C         G      
We are flying at fate 
C           G 
Beating our wings 
            D 
Against the walls of this place 
  G 
Unaware that the struggle 
       C            G 
Is the blood of the proof 
C              G 
In choosing to believe 
      D          G 
The unbelievable truth 
G 
But they have captured our siblings 
     C             G 
They rendered them mute 
C            G 
Disputed our lineage 
    D 
And poisoned our roots 
         G 
We have bought from the brokers 
         C            G 
Who have broken their oaths 
          C           G 
And we're out on the streets 
       D            G 
With a lump in our throats 
       C            G 
We are soot-covered urchins 
        C          D 
Running wild and unshod 
        G          C 
We will always be remembered 
       D           G       
As the orphans of God 
          C             G 
They will dig up these ruins 
          C            D 
And make flutes of our bones 
           G           C 
And blow a hymn to the memory 
       D          G   C   G  C   G  D  G  C   G   C   G  D  G 
Of the orphans of God
