lyrics

Winter 1819

Through the mist she carried us to the shores of this new land
missing sweet scent of heather and the ones too old to stand
Cast ashore nearing wintertime we gather to our breast
scant supplies but hope abounds and love will do the rest

To the caves to the hillsides and beneath the fallen trees
sheltered there our babies cling to us as we search for food to eat
Through the storm ones in buckskin find us sick and wearing out
bring us fish and ancient medicine for time is running out

Round the fire we gather though our numbers now are few
try to learn the secrets of this place this life anew
In their eyes we see tenderness – all try to understand
we give thanks for our bounty and the peace of this new land

Many years now are over – winter’s terror has no sting
we give thanks now to ancestors to this land did us bring
Here we live in comfort – our children gather round
looking up to the same stars – peace and mercy have we found
