Verse (Key of Bb)
D#5 Bb5
Two months is too little
G5 C5
They let him go, they had no
G#5 Bb5
Sudden healing
D#5 Bb5
To think that providence would
G5 C5 G#5
Take a child from his mother while she prays
Bb5
Is appalling
Who told us we'd be rescued
What has changed and why should we be saved
From nightmares
We're asking why this happens
To us, who have died to live
It's unfair
Chrous:
(N/C/) D#5 G5 C5

When the sacred is torn from your life
C5 Bb5
And you survive

This is what it is to be loved, and to know
Bb5 D#5 G5
That the promise was when everything fell
C5 Bb5
We'd be held
Verse: Same chords as verse 1
This hand is bitterness
We want to taste it, let the hatred numb
Our sorrow
The wise hand opens slowly
To lillies of the valley and
Tomorrow
