A Clearing in de Forest

A big Gommier fall in de forest de other day

The ripples reach out an touch me

Like de flapping wings of a million butterflies

He seh don’t worry my brothers and sisters

Ah going, ah gone to meet we Ancestors

Ah done me time on dis here land

So now ah going, ah gone to meet we Ancestors

 

Me life get touch by many

An ah hope ah touch many lives positively too

Now de fadder callin me

Tellin me “come home son, come home an rest wid we

We de ancestors you been glorifyin

Promotin an workin wid

Come an join we so you can have

A new overstanding of de plan

A new overstanding of de relationship

Between us an dem dat remain on de lan

 

Hol tight my brothers and sisters

Don’t weep doh mourn jus celebrate

De time we did have togedder

Selah! –
