Genowewa

Genowewa

Thread and needle
needle and thread
keep us safe
strike our enemies dead

Sewing, sewing always sewing
when will the thyme come to reap?
Sewing, sewing, steppes of cloth
Stepping out of line from the Russians wrath

Thread and needle
Needle and thread
Rosehip tea and scavenged bread

Sewing sewing always sewing
no time to stop, no time to weep
Sewing sewing, growing hope
Sewing the way for me to cope

Needle and thread
thread and need
turning honey into mead

Thread to follow through the maze of life
Needle that pierces our pain and strife
Thread and Need
Needle tread
walk for miles
so many dead

Threadbare but sewing
sewing still
sewing healthy, sewing ill
Matchstick legs and needle fingers
life still here, life that lingers

Thread and needle
needle and three
walking West
to hope, to liberty.
