Gather the Hands - Xavier Rudd
[Intro]
Dm Am C G
x2
[Verse 1]
Dm Am
She was delivered by the grace of his hands
C G
Kindness, relentless, wired to be shared
Dm Am
People stood awkwardly and gazed across the room
C G
She walked with such elegance in the places that she knew
[Verse 2]
Dm Am
Flawlessness, contagious, compassionate, engagement
C G
In these hands I belong, in these hands you belong
Dm Am
Foolish, segregation, scars deep beneath the skin
C G
Of the black man and the white man and everyone in between
[Interlude]
Dm Am C G
x2
[Verse 3]
Dm Am
Forever sacred was the feminine, right down to the final hour
C G
When every baby to be taken was to be poisoned to be soured
Dm Am
Bodies turning in their graves and spirits waiting to go home
C G
Disconnected from their holy place when the museum stole their bones
[Verse 4]
Dm Am
Cry freedom, still bleeding, still waiting for a reason
C G
Throw these arms around the world, throw these arms around the world
Dm Am
Through the eye of a needle we tried to move the stone
C G
So heavy from its history, of shame and blood and bone
[Interlude]
C G F C G
[Chorus]
C
Gather the hands to move the stone
G
Gather the hands to move the stone
F
Sing it up to the heavens
C G
Let it rain down on us all
(Play x6)
[Outro]
Dm Am C G
Dm Am
Through the eye of a needle we tried to move the stone
C G
So heavy from its history, of shame and blood and bone
