[Intro] [F] Son of man… [M] Can these bones live? [Verse 1] [M] He set me down in the middle of the valley Nothing but silence and a sea of white Bones so dry they forgot they were people A whole nation buried in the open light I walked among them, I heard no heartbeat I saw no future in the dust and the rust Then You asked the question that broke me open The one I was too afraid to trust [Pre-Chorus] [F] Son of man, can these bones live? [M] Lord God, You know [F] Prophesy to the wind [M] Tell the dead to stand [Chorus] [Both] Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord I will put My breath in you and you will live Sinew to bone, flesh on the frame I will open your graves and I will give Rise up, rise up, you great army Rise up, rise up, from the dust Dry bones, live Dry bones, live [Verse 2] [M] There was a rattling like a storm coming Bone to its bone across the floor Tendons and flesh and skin like a covering But they still just laid there, waiting for more Bodies without a breath in the valley An army that could not take a stand Then You said, Call to the four winds, prophet Call to the Spirit with your own two hands [Pre-Chorus] [F] Come from the four winds, O breath [M] Breathe on these slain [F] Come from the four winds, O breath [Both] And they will live again [Chorus] [Both] Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord I will put My breath in you and you will live Sinew to bone, flesh on the frame I will open your graves and I will give Rise up, rise up, you great army Rise up, rise up, from the dust Dry bones, live Dry bones, live [Bridge] [F] These bones are the whole house of Israel They say our hope is cut off, we are gone But I will open your graves, My people I will bring you up and I will bring you home [M] I will put My Spirit in you You will live, you will know I am the Lord I have spoken and I will do it This is the promise, this is the word [Both] I will put My Spirit in you And you will live [Breakdown] [M] I was a grave— [F] Now I’m an army! [M] I was a bone— [F] Now I am breathing! [Both] COME FROM THE FOUR WINDS BREATHE ON THE SLAIN [Final Chorus] [Both] Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord I will put My breath in you and you will live Sinew to bone, flesh on the frame I will open your graves and I will give Rise up, rise up, you great army Rise up, rise up, from the dust Dry bones, live Dry bones, live I will put My Spirit in you And you will live [Outro] [F] Son of man… [M] They live. [Both] They live.
