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

[Chorus 3]
D E F#m E
And though we'll face the spite, of thousands
D E F#m E
And cynics they will try, to tempt to change our minds
D E D
We know we'll never die alone, frightened
D E D
Just closer to the last communion without her
D E
We'll keep our faith alive, we'll raise our voices
D E
And scream it from our hearts: God loves her children
[Outro]
F#m D A Bm
The passion, the pain, our bodies ache, we cry your name
F#m D Bm E
The passion, the pain, our bodies ache, we cry your name
F#m D A Bm
The passion, the pain, our bodies ache, we cry your name
F#m D
The passion, the pain
[Outro 2]
