C Em D G
You fixed your eyes on us
Am Em
Your flesh and blood
Am Em D C
A sculpture of water and unsettled dust
Em D G
And there was bad blood in us
Em
We learned our lesson
Am Em D G
Genesis to the last generation
Em D G
So we wrestle with it all
Am Em
The concept of grace
Am Em
The faithful concrete
D C
As it breaks our fall
Em D G
Our questions are all the same
Am Em
A den of cold words
Am Em
How they feel brand new
D C
Against different time frames
Am Em
A den of cold words
D C
Against different time frames
Em C G
We know it all by heart
Am Em
The whole is greater
D C
Than the sum of its parts
Em C G
We heard it all before
Am Em
And beauty there echoes
D C
The speck of our souls
Am Em
And beauty there echoes
D C
The speck of our souls
Em D G
Like firewood burning bright
Am Em
In the dead of winter
Am Em D C
Now only the flicker can cling to this life
Em D G
So we heard it over mass
Am Em
Is a faith a prediction
Am Em D C
Wear our tradition until we collapse
Am Em D C
And argue our bearings until we collapse
Am D G
We study our story arcs
Am Em
Inherently good
Am Em D C
Or were we broken right from the start'
Em D G
Our hesitant fingerprints
Am Em
Trace every mountain
Am Em
Lace every valley
D C
Until we're convinced
Em C G
We know it all by heart
Am Em
Every blade of grass
D C
Bears our mark
Em C G
And the name will be engraved
Am Em
Oh it's just another word
D C
For being afraid
Em C G
We know it all by heart
Am Em
The whole is so much greater
D C
Than the sum of its parts
Em C G
We heard the truth before
Am Em
And beauty there echoes
D C
The speck of our souls
Am Em
And beauty there echoes
D C
The speck of our souls
Am Em
And beauty there echoes
D Am Em C
The speck of our souls
