Unbroken Circle
by Michelle J. (Sorcha)
Age Group: Adult
(sung to the tune of "Will the Circle be Unbroken"
We were gathered in a meadow
on a cold and mournful day
There to watch those flames a burning,
flames to carry my mother away.
Oh will the circle be unbroken?
By and by, oh, by and by
For this fire's been a' burning
burning since the dawn of time.
I took some ashes to the river
my soul burdened and in pain.
As those sweet waters cleansed my sorrow
the river carried her ashes away.
Oh will the circle be unbroken?
by and by, oh, by and by
For this water's been a' churning,
churning since the dawn of time.
I gave some ashes to the East wind
as the sun sent down His rays
I felt the heartache, melt from my body
as that wind carried her ashes away.
Oh will the circle be unbroken?
by and by, oh, by and by
For this wind has been a' blowing
blowing since the dawn of time.
I buried the rest 'neath the old oak tree
as the moon beamed down Her light.
and Mother Earth then did receive her
with her blessings joyous and bright.
Oh will the circle be unbroken?
by and by, oh, by and by
for this old earth has been a' turning,
turning since the dawn of time.
I watch my daughter as she's playing
her hair shining in the sun
and in her smile I see my mother
and I know that she lives on.
I know the circle is unbroken
by and by, oh, by and by
that wheel of life just keeps a turning,
turning since the dawn of time.
