C G F

If nature's red in tooth and in claw

'Cause every death is a question mark

At the end of the book of a beating heart

Am G

And the answer is scrawled in the silent dark

F G

On the dome of the sky in a billion stars

Am G

But we cannot read these angel tongues

F G

And we cannot stare at the burning sun

Am G

And we cannot breathe with these broken lungs

F G

So we kick in the womb and we beg to be born

Deliverance!

Deliverance, O Lord!

Am F G

Deliverance!
