Earthing

 

Here we sit

Here we sit

We sit over the bodies of those who lie buried here

Here we sit.

 

He we sing

Here we sing

We sing over the bodies of those who lie buried here

Here we sing

 

Here they lived

Here they lived

Their joys and their pains fill the air all around us

Here they lived

 

Here they sang

Here they sang

Their songs of those who came before them

Here they sang

 

Here they died

Here they died

Their bones our foundation, their memories their monuments

Here they died

 

Here we'll lie

Here we'll lie

The songs of our children will sound in the evening

Here we'll lie

 

Here we sit

Here we sit

We sit over the bodies of those who lie buried here

Here we sit.
