Whole Again

Ab Db Ab Eb Ab Db They pulled my grandmother’s roses Right out of the ground Eb Ab 85 years C7 Fm She spent puttin those roots down Eb Ab Db She said “it’s to be expected It’s the way it’s always been Eb Ab We take what we are given C7 Fm And we make it whole again” Eb Ab Db Db Make it whole again Ab Eb Like only we can Ab Db Db Make it whole again Ab Eb Fm With our holy hands Eb Db Ab We’ve been ripped apart so many times Eb F Still here we stand Db Ab And every day you come asking C7 “Make it whole again?” Ab Db They took my grandmothers paintings Burned them then and there Eb Ab Said she had the devils touch C7 Fm And healed her with a prayer Ab Db She said “it’s to be expected How could they understand? Eb Ab You cannot see an ocean C7 Fm With your head down in the sand” Ab Db Db I paint it all again Ab Eb With my holy hands Ab Db Db We’ll make it whole again Ab Eb Like only we can Eb Db Ab We’ve been ripped apart so many times Eb F Still here we stand Db Ab And every day you come asking C7 “Make it whole again?” Fm They took every ounce of truth we had Eb Ab and fed it to the fire Db Took our pain like Novacaine C7 Fm and wrote us off as liars Fm It burned into our history Eb Ab A legacy of shame Db Took every ounce of beauty C7 Fm and never learned our names Eb Ab Db What if we could fix it Ab Eb What if there’s no time Ab Db What if we resisted Ab Eb Called the lie a lie Db Ab What if there’s no savior Eb F There never was a choice Db Ab Do you hear the pleading prayers F C7 shaking in our voice Db Ab Screaming from the heavens Eb F To this earthly place I stand Db Ab Drowning in the wreckage Db Eb I don’t know if we can Ab Db Make it whole again Ab Eb Make it whole again Ab Db Make it whole again Ab Eb Make it whole again Ab Db Make it whole again Ab Eb Make it whole again Ab Db Make it whole again Ab Eb Make it whole again Ab Db
