   Am  Em
I kneel
             Am    Em
And wait in silence
   Am              Em           Am Em
As one by one the people slip away
          Am  Em
Into the night
              Am          Em
The quiet and empty bodies
Am                Em
Kiss the ground before they pray
Am                   Em
Kiss the ground and slip away

I sit
and listen dreamlessly
A promise of salvation makes me stay
then look at your face
And feel my heart pushed in as all
around the children play
The games they tired of yesterday
They play, they play

F
They play
      Am Em Am Em
They play

I stand
and hear my voice cry out
A wordless scream at ancient power
It breaks against stone
I softly leave you crying
I cannot hold what you devour
The sacrifice of penance in the holy hour
