There was a time by the sea
We played together
But the tide
Washed away sweet memories
I knew the truth
I heard you cry
I'm sorry

Kathy, I set you free
Ride with the spirits, fly like the wind
On your journey to find your peace
In my heart, you'll always be
Kathy, I set you free

There's a silence
Where there was none
Rest easy now
You work is done
The ones that will follow
They bring you with them
We can hear your voice
If we just listen

When the sun goes down
There's still the light of the moon
And I will remember you

Thousands of children's bones in the ground
Deep-reaching pain for so many 
Lost to the ravages of evil 
Cries unheard for years and years

And a small voice whispered
"It's ok now, you found us, you found us"

Apologies won't save the day
Death of babies far outweigh
Pale words that came
A hundred years too late

Shannon Thunderbird
With Kate Dickson & Sultans of String
