[Intro]
G C G C G D
I will Grise from my bed
With a qCuestion agGain
CAs I work to Ginherit
DThe restless wind
GThe view from my window
Is Ccold and Gobscene
CI want to Gtouch
What my Deyes haven't Gseen
GBut they have packaged our virtue
CIn cellulose Gdreams
CAnd sold us the Gremnants
Til our Dpockets are clean
Til our Ghopes fall 'round our feet
Like the Cdust of dead Gleaves
CAnd we end up lGookin'
Like Dwhat we belGieve
We are Csoot-covered Gurchins
Running Cwild and uDnshod
We will Galways be Cremembered
As the Dorphans of GGodC  G  C  C/B  D  
Like Gbees in a bottle
We are Cflying at Gfate
CBeating our Gwings
Against the Dwalls of this place
UnGaware that the struggle
Is the Cblood of the Gproof
CIn choosing to Gbelieve
The unDbelievable Gtruth
GBut they have captured our siblings
They Crendered them Gmute
CDisputed our Glineage
And Dpoisoned our roots
We have bGought from the brokers
Who have Cbroken their Goaths
And we're Cout on the sGtreets
With a Dlump in our tGhroats
We are Csoot-covered Gurchins
Running Cwild and unDshod
We will Galways be rCemembered
As the Dorphans of GGod
They will Cdig up these rGuins
And make fClutes of our Dbones
And blow a Ghymn to the Cmemory
Of the Dorphans of GGodC  G  C  G  D  G  C  G  C  G  D  G

C/B

[Intro]

G C G C G D

I will rise from my bed

C G

With a question again

C G

As I work to inherit

The restless wind

The view from my window

C G

Is cold and obscene

C G

I want to touch

D G

What my eyes haven't seen

But they have packaged our virtue

C G

In cellulose dreams

C G

And sold us the remnants

Til our pockets are clean

Til our hopes fall 'round our feet

C G

Like the dust of dead leaves

C G

And we end up lookin'

D G

Like what we believe

C G

We are soot-covered urchins

C D

Running wild and unshod

G C

We will always be remembered

D G C G C C/B D

As the orphans of God

Like bees in a bottle

C G

We are flying at fate

C G

Beating our wings

Against the walls of this place

Unaware that the struggle

C G

Is the blood of the proof

C G

In choosing to believe

D G

The unbelievable truth

But they have captured our siblings

C G

They rendered them mute

C G

Disputed our lineage

And poisoned our roots

We have bought from the brokers

C G

Who have broken their oaths

C G

And we're out on the streets

D G

With a lump in our throats

C G

We are soot-covered urchins

C D

Running wild and unshod

G C

We will always be remembered

D G

As the orphans of God

C G

They will dig up these ruins

C D

And make flutes of our bones

G C

And blow a hymn to the memory

D G C G C G D G C G C G D G

Of the orphans of God
