We marshal in the days of longing

We tremble like aimless children
C E5 D
And wait to watch the fire

And airing on the side of caution
C
Betraying all the symptoms

But girl you shake it right

I will bounce you on the lap of silence
C
We will free love to the beats of science
C E5 D
And girl you shake it right

Oh but all this to learn and your hair's so free

Can't you feel all the warmth of my sincerity

You make motion when you cry
F
You're making peoples lives feel less private
Em G
Don't take time away
C
You need motion when you cry
F
We all hold hands: can we all hold hands
G C
When we make new friends
[Refrão]
