Lyrics
Two Lovers - Jennifer E. Brant
@All Rights Reserved Jennifer E. Brant
A husband and wife loved each other
And lived a peaceful way of life
Respect was all they ever knew
And he would do anything for her
The stories about an uprooted tree
And what she needed from below
She didn’t wait for him and she looked down in the hole
Before she knew it, she was falling through
Chorus: They were two lovers
And one day she slipped away
Two lovers
Reaching for each other
She was carried on the wings of geese
And sat upon the turtles back
Waterbeings gathered around her
And gave her everything she would need
Now life flourished on the turtle
And a beautiful baby girl was born
Beauty from the skyworld was brought down below
Now their love carries on
Chorus
Here we are today
With lessons from above
We need to remember
Respect, Peace and Love
Chorus
