[Verse 1]
Bm        A                     Em
Mother, how far did you deviate?
Bm              A                       Em
Alone in the dark as you would meditate
Bm        A                       Em
Did you conceive of us when in multitude above
G                               A
Bearing us forth in labour pains of love?

[Verse 2]
Bm              A                               Em
The bridge collapsed but you took the stone
   Bm              A                            Em
From the ash an altar raised, you rebuilt your home
Bm       A                      Em
Hunger for concourse, you brought us to life
G                                  A
Crawling, standing, running, towards the light

[Chorus 1]
Bm                              A G
And though we'll face the spite, of thousands
Bm                        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

[Verse 3]
Bm              A                               Em
Blinded in the conclave we offer our trust
Bm              A                       Em
Shaking and bound in the angel lust
Bm                 A         Em
Our mouths are open, we wait to receive
   G                                     A
A sign and the scraps of truth of what we believe

[Chorus 2]
Bm                              A G 
And though we'll face the spite, of thousands
Bm                        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

[Chorus 3]
Bm                              A G
And though we'll face the spite, of thousands
Bm                        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]
Bm        A                Em
The passion, the pain, our bodies ache, we cry your name
Bm        A                Em
The passion, the pain, our bodies ache, we cry your name
Bm        A                Em
The passion, the pain, our bodies ache, we cry your name
Bm        A                Em
The passion, the pain
