Kate Price - Peaceweaver lyrics

Upon a hill, above a town A young girl sits, her head bowed down Asking "when will it cease, this troubled time?" And leave her land in peace And in the spring, before their power Into hear hair she weaves the flowers And with open hand, she walks her land Her destiny to find It is arranged, the plans are set Into a warring clan she's wed She's a human bridge to stop the flow Of blood upon their fields With summer sun, she wears a crown Her maidens dress now a foreign gown And it's her body she lays down She's a weaver of peace But war returns, again and again One battle claims her family's men Sons, husband, brothers, father, all To each other swords they fall With autumn wind upon the pyre She weaves their arms before the fire To set them free her sole desire She's a weaver of peace And with the snow she takes her leave To heal herself she sits to weave A tapestry her tale to tell And give her grief to time Her long hair shorn as golden thread She weaves a story of her dead That those who see may choose peace instead She's a weaver of peace
