Verse 1
F#
E
F#
There was a saviour rarer than radium,
Commoner than water,
crueler than truth.
Children kept from the sun,
assembled at his tongue,
F#
C#
of his keyless smiles.
F#
E
F#
The voice of children says from a lost wilderness there
was calm to be done in his safe unrest.
G#m
F#
When hindering man hurt, man, animal or bird,
E
F#m
F#
we hid our fears in that murdering breath.
E#m
F#
Silence, silence to do when
E#m
E
earth grew loud in lairs
There was glory to hear in
F#
D#m
Under his downy arm
C#
F#
you sighed as he struck.
Oh, you who could not cry onto
F#
put a tear for joy in the unearthly flood,
and laid your cheek against a
B
F#
cloud -formed shell.
B
A
F#
there is only yourself and myself,
B
F#
Two proud black brothers cry,
E
F#
E
To this inhospitable hollow year.
D
F#
one lean sigh,
and fire, neighbor,
D#m
F#
B
F#
but wailed and nested in the sky -blue wall.
B
F#
Now break a giant tear
for the little -known fall,
for the drooping of homes that
did not nurse our bones,
brave deaths of only ones
but never found.
F#m
G#m
F#
Now see alone in us our own true strangers
G#m
F#
dust ride through the doors of
our unentered house.
F#
F#
Exiled in us we arouse the soft,
and rough love that breaks all rocks.
