lyrics

When the battle is weary
And the harvest is thick
And the struggle is heavy
The candle burnt to wick
Where are hands held
When the children are gone
And where are the old ones
To sing us a song

So hold me and tell me
This sorrow will end
And hold me and tell me
The sun will rise again
Oh my dear child
There’s a long night a head
Lie down here and rest dear
I will cradle your head

When the water dries the river
The blood is on the corn
And the olive tree’s are broken
Bearing weight of the fallen
How do we pray and how do we grief
When our eyes are hardened over
And we bear bleeding wounds

Hear the wren sing
Black red green
As she flies above it all
From the deepest darkest depths to
The brightest hills at dawn
Our hope and dreams
Are not killing by war
Thats the wisdom we carry
Truth and memory held dear
