[Verse 1]
Cm A# Fm
Mother, how far did you deviate?
Cm A# Fm
Alone in the dark as you would meditate
Cm A# Fm
Did you conceive of us when in multitude above
G# A#
Bearing us forth in labour pains of love?
[Verse 2]
Cm A# Fm
The bridge collapsed but you took the stone
Cm A# Fm
From the ash an altar raised, you rebuilt your home
Cm A# Fm
Hunger for concourse, you brought us to life
G# A#
Crawling, standing, running, towards the light
[Chorus 1]
Cm A# G#
And though we'll face the spite, of thousands
Cm A# G#
And cynics they will try, to tempt and change our minds
A# G#
We'll keep our faith alive, we'll raise our voices
A#
And scream it from our hearts: God loves her children
[Instrumental]
Cm A# Fm
[Verse 3]
Cm A# Fm
Blinded in the conclave we offer our trust
Cm A# Fm
Shaking and bound in the angel lust
Cm A# Fm
Our mouths are open, we wait to receive
G# A#
A# sign and the scraps of truth of what we believe
[Chorus 2]
Cm A# G#
And though we'll face the spite, of thousands
Cm A# G#
Nonbelievers they will try, to tempt and change our minds
A# G#
We'll keep our faith alive, we'll raise our voices
A#
And scream it from our hearts: God loves her children
[Instrumental]

[Chorus 3]
Cm A# G#
And though we'll face the spite, of thousands
Cm A# G#
And cynics they will try, to tempt and change our minds
A# G#
We know we'll never die alone and frightened
A# G#
Just closer to the last communion without her
A# G#
We'll keep our faith alive, we'll raise our voices
A#
And scream it from our hearts: God loves her children
[Bridge]
Cm A# Fm
The passion, the pain, our bodies ache, we cry your name
Cm A# Fm
The passion, the pain, our bodies ache, we cry your name
Cm A# Fm
The passion, the pain, our bodies ache, we cry your name
Cm A# Fm
The passion, the pain
