Chorus:
C                  G                C                       F
This morning I am born again, and light shines through the land
C                     G                 C               F
I'd give myself, my heart, my soul, to lend a friend a hand
     Dm              Em            F
And every deathly humming dove I love and understand
      F             G               C   G
And there is only emptiness against me

Verse 1:
       C               G                   C             F
Where once the dust I suffered from would find me in my sleep
    C                 G                C               F
It pushed me and it pulled me, and it promised many things
    Dm                Em               F
I moved too fast, I throttled back, ashamed at my relief
F                   G            C      G
I feared the gentleness of my ambition

Chorus:
       C            G              C          F
This morning I am light, untying unwritten belief
    C               G                C                 F
I ride the rising horselight as it drives across the creek
     Dm               Em              F
And breezes lap the bracken back and slip between my teeth
F                   G           C     G
And all around is evidence of plenty

Verse 2:
            C             G                  C              F
I've seen pasture after pasture and their fragments in the air
           C                G                 C                 F
I've seen bodies flown and bodies thrown and bodies shown such care
      Dm             Em                   F
I've gathered up my own, and there were still so many there
               G                   C    G
Asking who is making up these questions

Chorus:
       C           G              C                F
This morning I am born, and I am for the forms we are
         C             G              C               F
In our great eternal moment in the thrall of our own star
         Dm               Em                  F
In our bordered and our neighbored and our tortured little yards
  F                  G         C        G
Fighting all this emptiness against us

Verse 3:
       C              F                C               F
So we hip the sumac, lip the dew sap, rip the rabbit lines
       C                      Dm                     C                F
So we dash the sun-drenched tacked and tongueless "No Trespassing" signs
       Dm             Em                    F
Like raspberries and leaves and steam, we reach into our skies
      F             G               C
And there is only emptiness against us
