Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
These [D]shoes have walked
some strange streets
Stranger still to come
Sometimes the prayers of strangers
Are all that keeps them [A]from[G]
Try[A]ing to stay stat[G]ic[D][Em][D]
Something [A]even death can't [G]do
[D]Everything is motion

[Interlude 1]
To the motion be true
[D]

[Verse 2]
[D]In this cold commodity culture
Where you lay your money down
It's hard to even notice
That all this earth is hallowed
[A]ground[G]
[A]Harder still to feel [G]it[F#m][Em][D]
[A]Basic as a [G]breath
Love is [D]stronger than darkness
Love is stronger than death

[Verse 3]
[D]The gift
Keeps moving
Never know
Where it's going to land
You must stand
Back and let it

[Interlude 2]
Keep on changing hands
[D]

[Verse 4]
[D]Hackles rise in anger
[G]Heat [D]waves rise in sex
The gift moves on regardless
Tying this world to [A]the next[G]
May you [A]never tire of wait
[G]ing[F#m][Em][D]
Never [A]feel that life is [G]cheap
May your [D]life be filled with light

[Verse 5]
Except for when you're trying to sleep
[D]
The gift
Keeps moving
Never know
Where it's going to land
You must stand
Back and let it

[Outro 1]
Keep on changing hands
[D]
