Beads On A String Songtext
von Marya Stark

I am the promise of
The prayers of my mothers
And the long line of mothers
Before them
We stand together
As beads on a string
And we′ll carry
We'll carry this prayer home

I am the promise of
The prayers of my mothers
And the long line of mothers
Before them
We stand together
As beads on a string
And we′ll carry
We'll carry this prayer home


We are the promise of
The prayers of our mothers
And the long line of mothers
Before them
We stand together
As beads on a string
And we'll carry
We′ll carry this prayer home

We are the promise of
The prayers of our mothers
And the long line of mothers
Before them
We stand together
As beads on a string
And we′ll carry
We'll carry this prayer home

Carry it home
Carry it home

Carry it home
Carry it home

Carry it home
Carry it home

Carry it home
Carry it home

How can we honor the children as the leaders they are
To follow their wisdom?


May the children joyously and lovingly live their gift purpose
Lighting the path for others to come

As these ancient beings
Come from infinite source
With their unique gifts
May we steward their growth
In a way that allows for
Their full expression

May the little ones grow
Unbridled and wild
Their creative hearts a compass
Guiding them always home
In wonder, sky-bound

We are the promise of
The prayers of our mothers
And the long line of mothers
Before them
We stand together
As beads on a string
And we′ll carry
We'll carry this prayer home

(Carry it home)
We are the promise of
The prayers of our mothers
And the long line of mothers
Before them
(Carry it home)
We stand together
As beads on a string
And we′ll carry
We'll carry this prayer home

Carry it home
Carry it home

Carry it home
Carry it home

Carry it home
Carry it home

Carry it home
Carry it home

We′ll carry it home
