Gather the Hands - Xavier Rudd
{Intro}
B D#m F# C# x2
[Verse]
B D#m
She was delivered by the grace of his hands
F# C#
Kindness, relentless, wired to be shared
B D#m
People stood awkwardly and gazed across the room
F# C#
She walked with such elegance in the places that she knew
{Verse]
B D#m
Flawlessness, contagious, compassionate, engagement
F# C#
In these hands I belong, in these hands you belong
B D#m
Foolish, segregation, scars deep beneath the skin
F# C#
Of the black man and the white man and everyone in between
B D#m F# C# x2
{Verse]
B D#m
Forever sacred was the feminine, right down to the final hour
F# C#
When every baby to be taken was to be poisoned to be soured
B D#m
Bodies turning in their graves and spirits waiting to go home
F# C#
Disconnected from their holy place when the museum stole their bones
{Verse]
B D#m
Cry freedom, still bleeding, still waiting for a reason
F# C#
Throw these arms around the world, Throw these arms around the world
B D#m
Through the eye of a needle we tried to move the stone
F# C#
So heavy from its history, of shame and blood and bone
B D#m F# C#
[Chorus]
F#
Gather the hands to move the stone
C#
Gather the hands to move the stone
B
Sing it up to the heavens
D#m C#
Let it rain down on us all
(x6)
[Outro]
B D#m
Through the eye of a needle we tried to move the stone
F# C#
So heavy from its history, of shame and blood and bone
