Gather the Hands |
She was delivered by the grace of his hands |
Kindness, relentless, wired to be shared |
People stood awkwardly and gazed across the room |
She walked with such elegance in the places that she knew |
Flawlessness, contagious, compassionate, engagement |
In these hands I belong, in these hands you belong |
Foolish, segregation, scars deep beneath the skin |
Of the black man and the white man and everyone in between |
Forever sacred was the feminine, right down to the final hour |
When every baby to be taken was to be poisoned to be soured |
Bodies turning in their graves and spirits waiting to go home |
Disconnected from their holy place when the museum stole their bones |
Cry freedom, still bleeding, still waiting for a reason |
Throw these arms around the world, throw these arms around the world |
Through the eye of a needle we tried to move the stone |
So heavy from its history of shame and blood and bone |
Gather the hands to move the stone |
Gather the hands to move the stone |
Sing it up to the heavens |
Let it rain down on us all |
Through the eye of a needle we tried to move the stone |
So heavy from its history of shame and blood and bone |
