Kalerka Lyrics

Rebecca Pidgeon Kalerka

Sailing across in Kalerka
To the land of our fathers and mothers
The boat is the namesake of the place
Lost to us
Claimed by others
Lost to us
But not forgotten

Were you with us at the crossing
To guide or counsel or oversee
Our long awaited journey to the place
Lost to us
Claimed by others
Lost to us
But not forgotten

There stands in the dark
The mountain
We do what we can
To remember the lost land
To remember the ever giving hand

Leave your slavery
Follow a cloud through the desert
Leave your slavery
Follow fire through the desert

Were you with us at the crossing
Forever with us at the rock
Were you with us on our journey to the place
Lost to us
Claimed by others
Lost to us
But not forgotten
