Farewell, now, my sister
|
Up ahead there lies your road
|
And your conscience walks beside you
|
It's the best friend you'll ever know
|
And the past is now your future
|
It bears witness to your soul
|
Make sure that the love you offer up
|
Does not fall on barren soil
|
|
For the wind cries of late
|
In the whispering grass
|
Our way of life is held
|
In the spinning wheels of chance
|
|
I believe in a way of long ago
|
And the sounds I believe rose our glow
|
And we’re changing our ways
|
Yes, we are taking on different roads
|
Tell me more about the forest
|
That you once called home
|
|
For the wind cries of late
|
In the whispering leaves
|
And the sun will turn to waste
|
The heavens we build above
|
|
Father, teach your children
|
To treat our mother well
|
If we give her back her diamonds
|
She will offer up her pearl
|
|
We must sing her creation song
|
Jeune du monde
|
Invoke the spirits that feed us
|
This dreaming takes too long
|
|
But I'm not bitter, no, I'm surviving
|
To face the world, to raise the future
|
So why don't you tell me, come on and tell me
|
About the world you left behind
|
Can you tell me?
|

Tell me about the Forest
