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
