Intro:
Bm    D/A    G  Em

      Bm              D/A
As a wave across the land
        G      Em  Bm
we are movin', movin'…
              D/A
This ain't no     phase,
                       G
the change these bodies  make,
         Em          Bm
and the way they are

 Bm               D/A
Facing forward, shoulder to the stone,
G          Em       Bm
telling of movin' it
(Bm)
It takes one step,
               D/A
it takes your voice,
(D/A)
it takes your voice, sayin'

 G                    Em
"I am not hearing if you are not naming it
G                     Em
I am not stopping if you are not changing it
 G                      Em
Here are my hands let's    see what they're makin'..."


Chorus:
Bm                A
  In the morning,   in the rise up,
D                  Em
  there's a bridge   from all that's been
Bm                A
  In the dawning,   the vines are
D           Em
  pushing through the pavement
Bm            A            D
  We were born of burning hearts
        Em                   Bm
We are tearing off the reigns
           A                    D
From the ground up we will build  it
           Em                   Bm
From the clouds above we'll rain   it
            A                  D
From the crowd up we will raise  it
           Em        Bm
From the ground up...

Verse 2:
               D/A             G      Em  Bm
You hold the spade to turn new   soil
               D/A                    G       E  Bm
For the coming    grace, you hold the   plans
                 D/A                         G         Em
And no hands but     our hands will lead our   childre-en
    Bm
And all that will feed you is a fierce prayer,
Bm                    D/A
   is a fierce prayer,    sayin'

 G                    Em
"I am not hearing if you are not naming it
G                     Em
I am not stopping if you are not changing it
 G                      Em
Here are my hands let's    see what they're makin'.."

A        Em     G         Bm
In this life we   see so many things and
A      Em       G             Bm
  Sometimes our   heart may start to bleed a bit
A         Em       G           Bm

  I must give my hands
