Lyrics

[male

vocals] (

Soft,

sustained

synth

pad) (

Low,

steady

heartbeat-like

drum

pulse) (

Deep,

breathy

sigh)

The

house

feels

bigger

now

that

you

are

gone

The

hallways

echo

with

the

things

you

used

to

say

We

gather

round

the

table

at

the

dawn

To

find

the

strength

to

face

another

day

Calvina

sits

beside

me

in

the

quiet

light

Dorice

holds

her

head

against

the

wall

We’

re

walking

through

the

shadows

of

the

night

Just

trying

to

stay

standing

through

it

all

Oh,

Father,

we

remember

where

we

came

from

We

hold

the

seeds

of

everything

you

sowed

With

Momma

Getrude,

we

are

walking

on

Together

down

this

long

and

winding

road

Calvina,

Dorice,

Hilder,

Easter,

too

Five

branches

of

the

tree

that

you

began

We

keep

the

light

that

burned

inside

of

you

The

memory

of

a

good

and

honest

man

Hilder

is

weeping

in

the

kitchen

chair

And

Easter

wipes

the

dust

off

of

your

cane

I

see

your

spirit

floating

in

the

air

We’

re

learning

how

to

live

inside

the

rain

We

are

five,

we’

re

bound

by

blood

and

bone

And

Momma

is

the

anchor

in

the

storm

We

never

really

have

to

feel

alone

As

long

as

we

keep

memory

alive

and

warm

Oh,

Father,

we

remember

where

we

came

from

We

hold

the

seeds

of

everything

you

sowed

With

Momma

Getrude,

we

are

walking

on

Together

down

this

long

and

winding

road

Calvina,

Dorice,

Hilder,

Easter,

too

Five

branches

of

the

tree

that

you

began

We

keep

the

light

that

burned

inside

of

you

The

memory

of

a

good

and

honest

man

It’

s

hard

to

breathe

when

everything

has

changed

The

rhythm

of

our

lives

has

lost

its

beat

But

we

are

strong,

we

are

not

rearranged

By

all

the

grief

that

gathers

at

our

feet

We

promise

you,

we’

ll

carry

on

your

name

We’

ll

take

care

of

the

house,

we’

ll

take

care

of

each

other

We’

ll

never

lose

the

spark,

the

living

flame

We

walk

this

path

as

sister

and

as

brother

Oh,

Father,

we

remember

where

we

came

from

We

hold

the

seeds

of

everything

you

sowed

With

Momma

Getrude,

we

are

walking

on

Together

down

this

long

and

winding

road

Calvina,

Dorice,

Hilder,

Easter,

too

Five

branches

of

the

tree

that

you

began

We

keep

the

light

that

burned

inside

of

you

The

memory

of

a

good

and

honest

man

For

Momma

Getrude

For

all

of

us

We

remember

We

don't

forget

Rest

now,

Father

We’

ll

hold

the

line (

Fade

out

with

slow,

resonant

piano

notes)
