Remembering the children in song

<p>Sometimes truth can only be told with poetry and music. When Cheryl-Anne Bower, the creative spirit behind Voices Rock Canada, and Susan O'Quinn, from Newfoundland's Mi'kmaq community, heard about the discovery of a burial ground of 215 indigenous  children in Kamloops they wrote a song for the children. And their mothers.<br /> <br /> LITTLE ANGELS<br />  Written by: Cheryl Bower/Susan O'Quinn. Arranged: Mike Lerner<br /> <br /> Gently walk upon this land, as we lay a bed of feathers<br /> Sacred ground beneath our feet, precious bones remain forever<br /> Feet will never touch the floor, tiny shoes remain unworn<br /> The sun won't shine on faces, shine on faces anymore<br /> <br /> CHORUS/<br /> Love the souls of little angels; bow our heads and softly (gently) weep<br /> Lay them down, in a bed of feathers, Little Angels, ever sleep.<br /> <br /> Mother covers them in earth   <br /> As she holds them in her heart<br /> Their souls never left behind<br /> As they rise up to the stars<br /> CHORUS/<br /> BRIDGE/<br /> Lullaby your souls to keep, as we watch the angels sleep<br /> Once were lost, but now are found, feathers gently on the ground<br /> <br /> Feet will never touch the shore, they're not forgotten anymore<br /> Their souls live on forever, souls live on forever more....<br /> CHORUS/<br /> Outro/ Look upon them as they sleep, bow our heads and gently weep<br /> <br /> <br /> Written by Cheryl-Anne Bower and Susan O'Quinn, from Newfoundland's Mi'kmaq community<br /> Lead singer: Cheryl-Anne Bower<br /> Arrangement: Mike Lerner<br /> Produced and Recorded by: Murray Foster, TORONTO, On.<br /> Musicians: Brian May (guitar), Liza McLellan (cello), Murray Foster<br /> (guitar), Mike Lerner (piano), Susan O'Quinn (drum).
