Close by the river stands a stone

Where mothers climb a path alone.

Young, old, and weary, short and tall,

They come to make a private call. I wonder if you know me now.

I wrote this song, I don’t know how.

I have no hand, I have no voice.

I lost them by my mother’s choice.

(Refrain)

XI

O Sister, Brother, are you there?

O Grandma, Uncle, did you care?

I’m waiting here...inside the stone

That grew from the first child unknown.
