I have had this video saved in my drafts file for over a year, actually hoping that it would never fit an actual moment in time. But it does now.
Peace to all the victims pictured above, and to their families and friends. Your loved ones' lights shine brightly for us to remember and admire them.
Peace and the hope for a miracle to Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and her husband, and to their families, colleagues, and friends.
Sung by Janis Ian, Phoebe Snow and Odetta.
Hymn
- written by Janis Ian
Lyrics:
When we grow old
And love grows cold
And time runs down
Like a river
That calls us home
The eyes grow dim
The light grown thin
And time will
End here forever
Long time gone.
Then time and the river
Must stop in their tracks
Or roll on forever
There's no turning back
I've waited too long
To be left here like this
Long time gone
Then weep no more
The heart is pure
These hands are sure
Like a river
That clings to shore
The love we learn
The love we burn
A love that burns
In the darkness
Will weep no more
Dreams die young
 |
| Cling to shore, Gabrielle Giffords |
