    Verse 1
    These 
    shoes 
    have 
    walked 

    some 
    strange 
    streets 

    Stranger 
    still 
    to 
    come 

    Sometimes 
    the 
    prayers 
    of 
    strangers 

    Are 
    all 
    that 
    keeps 
    them 
    from 

    Try
    ing 
    to 
    stay 
    stat
    ic 

    Something 
    even 
    death 
    can't 
    do 

    Everything 
    is 
    motion 

    Interlude 1
    To 
    the motion 
    be 
    true 


    Verse 2
    In 
    this 
    cold 
    commodity 
    culture 

    Where 
    you 
    lay 
    your 
    money 
    down 

    It's 
    hard 
    to 
    even 
    notice 

    That 
    all 
    this 
    earth 
    is 
    hallowed 

    ground 

    Harder 
    still 
    to 
    feel 
    it 

    Basic 
    as 
    a 
    breath 

    Love 
    is 
    stronger 
    than 
    darkness 

    Love 
    is 
    stronger 
    than 
    death 

    Verse 3
    The gift 

    Keeps 
    moving 

    Never 
    know 

    Where 
    it's 
    going 
    to 
    land 

    You must 
    stand 

    Back 
    and 
    let 
    it 

    Interlude 2
    Keep 
    on 
    changing 
    hands 


    Verse 4
    Hackles 
    rise 
    in 
    anger 

    Heat 
    waves 
    rise 
    in 
    sex 

    The 
    gift 
    moves 
    on 
    regardless 

    Tying 
    this 
    world 
    to 
    the next 

    May 
    you 
    never 
    tire 
    of wait

    ing 

    Never 
    feel 
    that life 
    is 
    cheap 

    May 
    your 
    life 
    be filled 
    with 
    light 

    Verse 5
    Except 
    for 
    when 
    you're 
    trying 
    to 
    sleep 


    The 
    gift 

    Keeps 
    moving 

    Never 
    know 

    Where 
    it's 
    going 
    to 
    land 

    You must 
    stand 

    Back 
    and 
    let 
    it 

    Outro 1
    Keep 
    on 
    changing 
    hands

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
