lyrics
DAUGHTERS OF THE DUST
Oh, lady of the wildwood
how you stand straight and strong.
Hide us in your branches,
give us shelter from the storm.
Oh, maiden of the mountain,
fast asleep under the snow,
keep us close beside you
when the winter winds blow.
We are daughters of the dust,
wind-tossed, drifting.
In the land of bone and rust,
unsteady, shifting--
will we ever find a place for us?
Oh mother river
shining like a silver band,
lead us through this wilderness,
bring us to our promised land.
Blood is on the moon
wolves are closing in...
We are daughters of the dust
wind-tossed, drifting.
In the land of bone and rust,
unsteady, shifting--
will we ever find a place for us?
Oh, lady of the wildwood
how you stand straight and strong.
Hide us in your branches,
give us shelter from the storm.
Oh, maiden of the mountain,
fast asleep under the snow,
keep us close beside you
when the winter winds blow.
We are daughters of the dust,
wind-tossed, drifting.
In the land of bone and rust,
unsteady, shifting--
will we ever find a place for us?
Oh mother river
shining like a silver band,
lead us through this wilderness,
bring us to our promised land.
Blood is on the moon
wolves are closing in...
We are daughters of the dust
wind-tossed, drifting.
In the land of bone and rust,
unsteady, shifting--
will we ever find a place for us?
