[Verse 1]
C#m B F#m
Mother, how far did you deviate?
C#m B F#m
Alone in the dark as you would meditate
C#m B F#m
Did you conceive of us when in multitude above
A B
Bearing us forth in labour pains of love?
[Verse 2]
C#m B F#m
The bridge collapsed but you took the stone
C#m B F#m
From the ash an altar raised, you rebuilt your home
C#m B F#m
Hunger for concourse, you brought us to life
A B
Crawling, standing, running, towards the light
[Chorus 1]
C#m B A
And though we'll face the spite, of thousands
C#m B A
And cynics they will try, to tempt and change our minds
B A
We'll keep our faith alive, we'll raise our voices
B
And scream it from our hearts: God loves her children
[Instrumental]
C#m B F#m
[Verse 3]
C#m B F#m
Blinded in the conclave we offer our trust
C#m B F#m
Shaking and bound in the angel lust
C#m B F#m
Our mouths are open, we wait to receive
A B
B sign and the scraps of truth of what we believe
[Chorus 2]
C#m B A
And though we'll face the spite, of thousands
C#m B A
Nonbelievers they will try, to tempt and change our minds
B A
We'll keep our faith alive, we'll raise our voices
B
And scream it from our hearts: God loves her children
[Instrumental]
C#m B F#m
C#m B F#m
[Chorus 3]
C#m B A
And though we'll face the spite, of thousands
C#m B A
And cynics they will try, to tempt and change our minds
B A
We know we'll never die alone and frightened
B A
Just closer to the last communion without her
B A
We'll keep our faith alive, we'll raise our voices
B
And scream it from our hearts: God loves her children
[Bridge]
C#m B F#m
The passion, the pain, our bodies ache, we cry your name
C#m B F#m
The passion, the pain, our bodies ache, we cry your name
C#m B F#m
The passion, the pain, our bodies ache, we cry your name
C#m B F#m
The passion, the pain
