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 |
