if you kick us, won't it hurt

I am wrapped in scraps of linen and pieces of people's old shirts
  D       Bm  G        D
But way way underneath all these sticky bands
G        D   G         A
I hold all my dreams right here in my hands

I spent several thousand years down here all alone
G     D    G          A
No way to stem the lonely old ache in my bones
D          Bm   G          D
Say the spell three times, crank up the special effects

I'm gonna cast off all my bandages and see what happens next

    Bm     D
I will rise fully formed
    Em       G
Like an infant, freshly born

     G      D  C       G
I've been trapped too long underneath the ground
G        D          G         C
In the hollow darkness, but ain't no grave gonna hold my body down

Chorus:
Bm       D
I will push my hand up through the earth
      Em           G      A
and I will rise like the cry of an infant at its birth
