Joyful Banner Blazing 文本歌词
作词 : Maria Dunn
作曲 : Maria Dunn
In streets where no one’s path is smooth
Polish rare as Sunday shoes
Lined all along the road are we
One big heart on one big sleeve
And in the wake of the hearse
Our voices float in verse
Every buoyant phrase and melody
Cries, Sister you will ever be
Comin’ round the mountain
Over the rainbow
A joyful banner blazing
You are young
You are precious
You are loved
A young man’s thanks for all you did
So lads like him could just be kids
A safe place he could hang about
Drop the tough act, lose the lout
Single mom, determined gaze
Remembers how she freely played
And took to heart the stories, songs
That whisper still “girl, you are strong”
You’ll be
Comin’ round the mountain
Over the rainbow
A joyful banner blazing
You are young
You are precious
You are loved
Your smiling eyes cut through it all
To our better selves did call
Confident that we were there
Coaxing us to dream, to dare
Challenging the deal in drugs
Raising money in the pubs
Pulling heartstrings, squeezing funds
Our shameless, selfless, flying nun
Comin’ round the mountain
Over the rainbow
A joyful banner blazing
You are young
You are precious
You are loved
And we who line this road today
You nurtured, nudged along our way
Taught us skills to help us cope
Through the darkness into hope
You’re in the bustle of our streets
In the rain upon our cheeks
Your words a mantra we will keep
And pass to every child we meet
