Here near black waters divine is

Dangling from every branch

Black waters

Swallow up our hollow fears

Steer us on

On

Faith

On faith we come for miles around

Just to hear that precious sound

Of harmony

From the mouth of the fool

Fool

Fool, who is the innocent

Courageous words are heavensent

To remind

Strike the chord while it's hot

Lead us to that sacred spot

Where, believe it or not

We are found

Chorus

I give thanks for what is given

Offer up to the next, downstream

Row row, row your boat

Gently down

May the circle be unbroken

Merry go round

Again, again

Red Bird

Who weaves the elders' song

Into a message nest

We are not alone

We are the wellspring of those

Who came before

Of theirs, our voices born

Our song so ancient

Older than we can imagine

The gift of fearless love-givers
