arifani moyo - the gathering lyrics
the gathering
[verse 1]
mothers and fathers we are gathered here
to witness the washing of the stain
some of us lost their lives while throwing spears
they’ll never taste the morning rain
[verse 2]
now that the strange ones have abandoned us – eh? –
these are the days that heaven sent
now that the age of love has summoned us
how many here will have the strength?
[chorus]
mothers and fathers, oh the wind blows
mountains are trembling in the earth
god is watching. well, i guess it shows
s/he must be wondering what we’re worth
[verse 3]
there was a time we knew our enemies –
and now they’re just hidden from the eye
all of our hospitals are battlefields
entire nations here have died
[chorus]
mothers and fathers, oh the wind blows
mountains are trembling in the earth
god is watching. well, i guess it shows
s/he must be wondering what we’re worth
– and what are we worth?
[bridge]
…but if only we could see it coming – eh?
now that the bombs have blown, it’s no use running – eh?
we’ve got to clean these golden streets, which bear the flesh of our unburied young
…unburied young…
eh… ah… eh… ah… eh… ah… eh… eh…
[verse 4]
mothers and fathers we are gathered here
to witness the boys become the men
blood has been spilled and nothing’s left to fear
they’ll never hunger love again
