Let us gather

Let us gather

among these sweet tears,

Let us grieve,

Let this shared fountain

wash through us

with all its sadness —

Let it flow

until it clears

Let us gather

for we will be shelter

for each other, we will be

home. We will be

the way we make it through —

We’ll see each other 

and so be known.
