Walk This World by Chris Wood
Starry night and starry night
And we were brave and we were bright
And we sang with all our might
The moon came out to cheer us
Chorus:
This will go on though dynasties pass
To mark and circumscribe our listless lives
The staff of life in crumbs will fall
But we will walk this world with music
The orchards rang, the orchards rang
Our muskets rattle, our saucepans bang
And as we gathered and as we sang
The year came in to cheer us
Chorus
A perfect day, a perfect day
The last of April, the first of May
And as we dance and as we play
The sun comes up to cheer us
Chorus
A final day a final day
And how your breath, it slips away
And as we sing your chosen hymn
We stand and wonder, can you hear us?
Chorus
