[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ [E] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ You always give what [G] you can, even if your allies draw lines in [Am] the sand.
And big, always dig a little [F] deeper.
Sometimes it's hard to be my [C] brother's keeper.
Love, so you let [G] love in.
Baby, I am home and awake in your [Am] skin.
And it's crazy how we wear our [F] ceremony.
Always be open to your path and [C] your journey.
Yes, she cradles [G] my loneliness.
Our home in a [Am] forest nest.
Universal [F] test.
Feel the weight of my love.
Put your hand on [C] my chest and rest.
In the cradle of my [G] arms, the battle that we face
is the place where our [Am] scars come from.
And to pick up the [F] gun, my love, we are destined to teach these [C] ones to be brave
and never run [G] away.
Courage is burned from the womb on the [Am] first holiday.
Yeah, the day you were [F] born, you came out perfect,
never meant to be [C] torn in silence.
Never been so [G] loud in the violence.
Never been so [Am] proud of our people.
When we're fighting for our [F] dreams, are you afraid of losing all despite all the [C] rage?
We are animals, and we cannot be [G] caged.
But focus the fight so we burn a little [Am] stage and write poetry.
Wiser than the [F] enemy will ever be, the minority [C] and authority.
Are you here to [G] protect or arrest me?
I can't tolerate the [Am] hate, and I'm losing sleep.
Can't breathe because they're [F] choking out a war in me.
Immorality, [C] yeah.
Love letters [Em] to God.
_ [F] I wonder if she reads [C] them or if they get lost [Am] in the stars. _
[F] _ Stars [C] and stars. _
Yeah.
_ _ So many [Em] parts to a heart.
_ _ [F] If there's no beginning, [C] then where would you start?
_ [Am] Start. _ _
[F] Start.
_ [C] Where would you start? _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ Human _ souls, so we compliment the [G] story told in prose.
Because we're always searching for [Am] a certain goal, a pattern, a [F] physics, a role.
Don't believe all you're [C] told and open.
Open up your [G] fist.
A misconception.
You can fight like [Am] this and face.
With the power of [F] prayer of God on our side,
we can take the [C] stairs to the heavens.
Flipping through my chapter [G] seven, I live with the snakes
and the great deception.
[Am] No cart in this country for men [F] who steal from the mother on paper,
wet pen.
[C] And we're tripping down a red dirt [G] road.
And we're asking, is this the way we should [Am] go?
Kissing soft top feet of my [F] goddess.
We walk the earth, baby.
Yeah, we [C] got this focus.
And it's [G] redirected, grateful, and I'm resurrected, [Am] stubborn.
But I know the way.
[F] You're the skin on my drum to your rhythm.
I will sway.
[C] Take my hand.
I will lead you astray.
[G] We will not go gently into the dark as the days [Am] grandma's here.
And she says persevere.
[F] Take a walk in her marks.
It's a trail of tears [C] in our fears.
I'm the same as the year [G] where it appears.
And I'm the pain of a [Am] Holocaust years.
Always marvel at [F] emotion.
Maybe, maybe being not a dove in [C] ocean.
Your arses, how they bend and contract [G] on my conscience.
And it will slip through the grip [Am] of my thesis.
And my theory and I [F] shine in your presence.
I deliver into [C] you.
Love and [Em] haste to God.
_ [F] I will never see reason, [C] but it's making love in [Am] the stars. _ _
[F] _ Stars [C] in the fire. _ _
_ _ _ _ So many bonds [Em] to a heavy heart.
[F] If there's no beginning, [C] then where would I just start?
[Am] Start. _ _
[F] _ Start.
[C] Where would I just start? Start. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
