We are sisters

We are sisters is a Celtic song by Fiona G and relates to Anna Livia We are sisters We are sisters Not bound by beauty Not bound by blood Not through a sense of duty We are sisters The creators of life The weavers of dreams Who witness trouble and strife Sat down by your side In the early morning river light The silence holds a city still asleep Touching stone, I still feel The coldness left by the night We are sisters Not bound by beauty Not bound by blood Not through a sense of duty We are sisters The creators of life The weavers of dreams Who witness trouble and strife Your shimmering presence Catches my absent-minded eye For in that moment As if breath lay upon the surface I sensed an ancient past slowly float by We are sisters Not bound by beauty Not bound by blood Not through a sense of duty We are sisters The creators of life The weavers of dreams Who witness trouble and strife Drawn by the way you drift unnoticed No different to the mother distant protector I hear you speak so softly Recalling the memories safeguarded Among the riverweed flowing like hair We are sisters Not bound by beauty Not bound by blood Not through a sense of duty We are sisters The creators of life The weavers of dreams Who witness trouble and strife You reflect within your shimmering The history of the upside down city Speaking of having a long memory of women I can now hear the striking wheels on cobbled stone Harsh realities of life viewed without pity We are sisters Not bound by beauty Not bound by blood Not through a sense of duty We are sisters The creators of life The weavers of dreams Who witness trouble and strife
