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