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