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

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