Dumbek: Sky Pelicrow
Chorus:
Women gathering round,
women gathering round,
women gathering round.
Verse 1:
Some carry roses and some carry guns
for the loss of their mothers, fathers, daughters and sons.
Chorus
Verse 2:
Too many claims on the land of the Bible -
How can the spirit prevail?
Let the healing between Sarah and Hagar
be the peace between Isaac and Ishmael.
Chorus
Verse 3:
White child, brown child sitting on a fence,
Just a stone's throw from innocence.Chorus
New verse, not on recording:
Some of us mothers, all of us daughters, moving in a mighty stream, let wisdom flow through each generation, giving courage to all of our dreams.Chorus
Verse 4:
I see the women of Soweto, the women of Chile,
the women of the Middle East.
I see the women of Palau and of Guatemala*
building their vision of peace.
Oh, we are all women gathering round.
Oh, we are all women gathering round.
*Newer version of line: Afghanistan and Sarajevo
