A Bbdim
In sudden pain, in empty cold, in blinding light of day
Bm A G
We're given breath and it takes our breath a-way
How cruel to unformed fancy / The way in which we come
Over-whelmed by feeling / And sudden loss of love
And what price dark confining pain, the hardest to forgive
Bm A G G/F# Em A
When all at once we're called upon . to live
(Then) by giant hand we're taken / From the shelter of the womb
That dreaded first horizon / The endless empty room
Where communion is lost forever, when a heart first beats alone
Bm A G G/F# Em A7
Still, it remembers, no matter how it's grown____________
D Dsus4 D
We grow____, but grow a-part
D Dsus4 D
We live____, but more alone
Em C
The more to be, the more to see____
To cry aloud that we are free
Bb6 A
To hide our ancient fear(s) of being alone______
And how we live in darkness / Embracing spiteful cold
Refusing any answers / For no man can be told
That Delivery is delayed until at last we're made aware
Bm A G G/F# Em
And first reach for love, to find 'twas always there_______
