Such a hard place to live, stormy, difficult to grow food, isolated. But life goes on. And the music runs through those of us whose ancestors left seeking gold, never to return!
I love this song for many reasons. The pictures are of a time now gone but which I still remember. A people gracious and generous. It also reminds us that we will indeed be returning home at the end of our journey here. And the singing is just lovely too.
We have lost much by our high tech fast paced world. These people were very connected to God and nature and relyed on each other for strength and support. Somehting not evident in today's society.
