about

A song of migration from poverty and famine.

lyrics

When we were farming land © Ger Wolfe 2020

I hold your hand the snow is on the ground
We walk rough land the evening shadows grow
Along the way we see the rivers flow
They come and go out of our view but still
You have your father’s face, his eyes and turn of phrase
You move your arms around just like he did, when we were farming land

2.I hold your hand the sun lights on your brow
Brightens your face the days are longer now
Along the way we hear creation groan
It weaves a blanket where the leaves are blown
Ch.
3.A Journey long a Winter on the road
So many steps tghe counting comes and goes
The rhyme of night and day all winter long
The climbing hill the calling birds of song.
No chorus here.
4.You hold my hand the years have come and gone
Left with this tune a half remembered song
Hope is a memory in the haze of time
One syllable alive a nursery rhyme.
