G C G C G D
G
I will rise from my bed
C G
With a question again
C G
As I work to inherit
D
The restless wind
G
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
G
But they have packaged our virtue
C G
In cellulose dreams
C G
And sold us the remnants
D
Til our pockets are clean
G
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
G
Like bees in a bottle
C G
We are flying at fate
C G
Beating our wings
D
Against the walls of this place
G
Unaware that the struggle
C G
Is the blood of the proof
C G
In choosing to believe
D G
The unbelievable truth
G
But they have captured our siblings
C G
They rendered them mute
C G
Disputed our lineage
D
And poisoned our roots
G
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
