Oh you sisters encircled

Children of mine

You humble my heart

Sing loud while you’re able

    G 
For so many years

We swam into the tide

And we would not abandon

Heroic and kind

Shared our sweat and our shelter

Our bodies and blood

God speed and good fortune

I will miss you my love

    G/F# Em 
Now we   meet at the well of sorrow 
    Am 
Dug down to the heart of the earth 
      Em            D 
To be joined at its source 
       C              G 
To the spring of hope

Drink deep while you can 
     D 
Give thanks for your thirst
