lyrics

oh my brother
if the sea should
rise against you
do not fear no
not the darkness
nor your sorrow
take your courage
underneath 
--------------
oh my brother 
since you've been gone,
mother's garden,
has stopped growing
father's age has 
started showing
since you set out 
on the sea
------------
oh my brother
hold the memory
20 summers
you were with me 
Still I'm counting
20 winters
have now passed 
you're at sea
 
20 winters 
you're at sea
--------------
 
oh my brother
do the answers 
to our questions
hide abroad
oh my brother
bring them back here
bring  the language
of our God
------------
oh my brother
when you come home
all our kin will 
celebrate you
yet if you will to 
go on searching
we will tarry 
as you're gone
