LYRIC
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 [Verse] 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 [Verse] 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 & spirits waiting to go home
Disconnected from their holy place when the museum stole their bones [Verse] 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 & blood & bone [Chorus] 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
(x6) [Outro] Through the eye of a needle we tried to move the stone
So heavy from its history, of shame & blood & bone
