IN THIS RIVER WE SING is for our good friend Martha's Sister, Sue, and for our dear Martha...

IN THIS RIVER WE SING

CHORUS

We stand in this River
And sing for your Spirit
A Spirit that Lives
Every Day every Night
That all will be good for you
On your Great Journey
That Time will be wings to you
In this sweet Flight
____________________

For you are a human and you are an angel
You are a woman, a person, a child...
Deep inside is all wisdom born
With you while borning...
And you have all wisdom to see
Past this storm....
This is only a weather that
You have to walk through:
Against this kind wind you have
Less now to say...
It carries you homeward
Without any evil -
It's only a guide - for
You're on your own way....

CHORUS
_____________________

We want to go with you
But we are less welcome -
This is not our day and
This is not our night...
Your path isn't new to this world
Still, we wonder: it all is
So fresh and it all is so right...
We beat the drum slowly -
The holy ground singing: Life claims
Who you are and who you'll ever be...
We see your road spreading
Straight up to some Great Sky...
Where Ancestors sing with
Your Song, and you're Free....
