Joan Baez - Requiem Lyrics

Artist: Joan Baez

Album: Day After Tomorrow

Genre: Folk

  • Also in:

Ooh....

Mother mary, full or grace, awaken,
All our homes are gone, our loved ones taken,
Taken by the sea,

Mother mary calm our fears, have mercy,
Drowning in a sea of tears, have mercy,
Hear our mournful plea,

Our world has been shaken,
We wander our homelands forsaken,
In the dark night of the soul bring some comfort to us all,
O mother mary come and carry us in your embrace,
That our sorrows may be faced,

Mary fill the glass to overflowing,
Illuminate the path where we are going,
Have mercy on us all,
In funeral fires burning,
Each flame to your mystery returning,

In the dark night of the soul your shattered dreamers,
Make them whole,
O mother mary find us where we've fallen out of grace,
Lead us to a higher place,

In the dark night of the soul our broken hearts you can make whole,
O mother mary come and carry us in your embrace,
Let us see your gentle face, mary.

Ooh.....

    Our choir sang this song last year, and everyone was crying. It's a beautiful song and we actually had one girl who moved here after her house was ruined in Katrina, her entire family except her and her four year old brother all died. I adore this song, and it will always make me cry.
