Mother of Waters
Mother of Waters
you're peace and tranquility;
how I long to be as free.
Oh Mother of Waters,
mighty! untroubled, and true!
change me to be just like you.
You have given us life
then have taken it away...
seen battles lost and won
through the nights until the day.
But who can say
what controls your silence?
And who can say
what commands your violence?
Sweet Mother of Waters
graceful, mystic, serene...
who can know what you have seen?
You have given us life
then have taken it away...
seen battles lost and won
through the nights until the day.
but who can say
what controls your silence?
And who can say
what commands your violence?
Dear Mother of Waters,
great mirror of the dusk and the dawning...
calming, soothing, everlasting...
how I long to be as free!
Change me to be just as thee.
