[Outro]
Em D Em A
Oh God I feel for you
Em D Em A
Oh God I feel for you
The plot of our life sweats in the dark like a face
Em D Em A
Oh God I feel for you
The mystery of childbirth, of childhood itself
Em D Em A Em
Oh God I feel for you
Grave visitations. What is it that calls to us?
Em D Em A Em
Oh God I feel for you
Why must we pray screaming?
Why must not death be redefined?
Em D Em A Em
Oh God I feel for you
We shut our eyes
Em D Em A Em
Oh God I feel for you
we stretch out our arms
Em D Em A Em
Oh God I feel for you
And whirl on a pane of glass. An afixiation
Em D Em A Em
Oh God I feel for you
a fix on anything. The line of life, the limb of a tree
Em D Em A Em
Oh God I feel for you
The hands of he and the promise that she is blessed
Em D Em A Em
Oh God I feel for you
among women
