The Well

And Rose can you tell me have you been to the well?
Have you uncovered mysteries for us? Could you tell?
Have you married sweet notions, are you up with the birds?
Can you soothe us, your people, with your soothing words?
Oh Rose
I've been dying for you to come
Oh Rose
In this time and again
Sister oh sister have you seen it's been said
It's been carved out of stone and been painted in lead
Selling the land that is owned by no man
Oh mother, dear mother, be mother again
Be mother again
Oh Rose mother of the Earth
Oh sweet Rose ??????
Oh would you carry us back home
Oh God Rose now we know what you are
So after the gathering they all chose to stand firm
And their hearts turned burning after what black Rose told them
She said this is our homeland, she said born from the earth
We will sing out the new song and we know what this is worth
Oh all this says Rose
Oh I believe in Rose again
Oh singing and calling your name
Oh and conscience come out again
So Rose I believe you've been to the well
And you found a new legend for your people to tell
Was it water from heaven, was it clean, was it sweet
And did you wash your hands and did she kiss your feet
The water
Oh calling you Rose
Oh conscience we feel it grow
Oh Rose
Oh
Becomes the rose
