Intro: verse 1 Oh you sisters encircled Children of mine You humble my heart And sharpen my mind Though scattered and weary The change is upon us We are bound till the end a family I promise All that you love will be taken some day By the angel of death Or the servants of change In a flood water tide Without rancor or rage Sing loud while you’re able In grief and in praise verse 2 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 For all you hold dear will be taken some day By the angel of death Or the servants of change In a flood water tide Without rancor or rage Sing loud while you’re able In grief and in praise Bridge Now we meet at the well of sorrow Dug down to the heart of the earth To be joined at its source To the spring of hope Drink deep while you can Give thanks for your thirst Solo For all that you love will be taken some day By the angel of death Or the servants of change In a flood water tide Without rancor or rage Sing loud while you’re able In grief and in praise Reprise Sing loud while you re able In grief and in praise
