[G#m] She _ was _ [D#] delivered by [D#m] the grace of his [D#] hands, _
_ [F#] _ kindness, _ _ relentless, [C#] _ quiet to be shared. _
_ [G#m] _ People stood _ [D#] _
awkwardly [D#m] and gazed across [G#] the room. _ _
[F#] She walked with such _ elegance [C#] in the places that she knew. _ _
_ [G#m] _ Flawlessness, _ [G#] _ contagious, _ [D#m] _ compassionate, _ [D#] engagement [D#m]
in [F#] these hands.
I belong [C#] in these hands, you belong. _ _

Forever sacred [G#m] was the feminine [D#m] right down to the final hour _

[F#] _ Disconnected from their holy place when [C#] the museum stole their bones.
[G#m] Cry freedom, still bleeding, [D#m] still waiting for a [A#] reason.
Throw [F#] these arms around the world, throw [C#] these arms around the world.
