Hi, Folks - Glad to find this thread here. I've sung at four events now. I've been using "Love Will Guide Us", with Sally Roger's words. I've also used Charlie Murphy's "Light is Returning" and "And Everyone 'Neath The Vine and Fig Tree...". "Finlandia" is a wonderful choice. I've also just written some words out of my own need for healing...music is still to come. Please forgive me...I haven't posted in a long time and I can't seem to find out how to do page breaks.
Peace to you all in these hard times.

Here in my garden there's work to be done
Tomatoes need pruning, there's too little sun
The roses are lovely, all yellow and red
Five thousand people are dying or dead

The mums need re-planting, the dahlias are through
I've seldom seen hyacinths such a fine blue
I reach for a plum and I stare at the sky
Five thousand innocent people have died

Sunflowers bowing their heads to the ground
Hollyhocks falling with hardly a sound
I'll stay in my garden until it gets dark
Five thousand people are dead in New York

The apple tree's loaded with fruit ripe and red
It was planted in love on the day we were wed
What seeds have been planted to reap such a harvest
Five thousand people - my God! - are all dead
