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
