Verse 2
G 
So you let love in
Baby I am home in the wake
of your skin
Am 
And it's crazy
How we wear our ceremony
F 
Always be open to your
path and your journey
C 
Yes
G 
She cradles my loneliness
Am 
A home in a forest nest
F 
Universal test, feel the weight of my
love put your hand on my chest
C 
And rest
In the cradle of my arms
G 
The battle that we face is a place
Am 
where our scars come from
And to pick up that gun
F 
My love we are destined to teach
C 
these ones to be brave
And never run away
G 
Courage is birthed from the womb
Am 
on the first light of day
F 
Yeah, the day you were born you came
out perfect never meant to be torn
C 
In silence
G 
Never been so loud in the violence
Am 
Never been so proud of a people
When we're fighting for a change
F 
Not afraid to lose it all despite all the rage
C 
We are animals
And we cannot be caged
G 
Provoke us to fight
Am 
So we burn a little sage and write poetry
F 
Wiser than the enemy will ever be
The minority
C 
And authority
G 
Are you here to protect or arrest me?
I can't tolerate the hate,
Am 
and I'm losing sleep
Can't breathe because they're
F 
choking out a war in me
C 
Immorality

Verse 3
Em 
Love letters to God
F 
I wonder if she reads
C 
them or if they get lost
Am 
F 
C 
In the stars, the stars, in the stars
Em 
So many parts to a heavy heart
F 
If there's no beginning,
C 
then where would you start?
Am 
F 
C 
Start, start, where would you start?

Interlude 1

Verse 4
C 
Human souls
So we carve 'em into story
G 
Totem poles
Because we're always searching
Am 
for a certain goal
F 
A pattern of physics, a role
Don't believe all you're told
C 
And  open
Open up your fist
G 
A misconception
You can fight like this
Am 
In praise
With the power of prayer
F 
If God's on our side we can
take the stairs
C 
To the heavens
Flipping through my chapter seven
G 
I live with the snakes in the
great deception
Am 
No court in this country for men
F 
Who steal from their mother on
paper with pen
C 
And we're tripping
Down a red dirt road
G 
And we're asking
Is this the way we should go?
Am 
Kissing, soft top feet of my goddess
F 
We walk the earth,
baby yeah we got this
C 
Focus, and it's redirected
G 
Grateful, and I'm resurrected
Am 
Stubborn, But I know the way
F 
You're the skin of my drum
To your rhythm I will sway
C 
Take my hand
I won't lead you astray
G 
We will not go gently into
the darkest of days
Am 
Grandma's here,
and she says persevere
F 
Take a walk in her mocks
sees a trail of tears
C 
And our fears,
are the same as they ever were
G 
Beers numb the pain of our
Am 
holocaust years
Always mobbing and motion
F 
Maybe, baby be an island over an ocean
C 
Your arches,
G 
how they bend and contract in my conscience
Never slipped through the
Am 
grip of my thesis
F 
And my theory is I shine in your presence
C 
A deliverance

Verse 5

Wonder if she reads them or if they get lost
Am 
F 
C 
In the stars, the stars, in the stars
Em 
So many parts to a heavy heart
F 
If there's no beginning,
C 
then where would you start?
Am 
F 
Start, start,
C 
where would you start?
