Martin Guerre movie - The Land of the Fathers lyrics
rate me<br>
Mme de Rols<br>
Will she ever forgive me, what have I done?<br>
Pierre<br>
Did they all have to die, can I live with this shame?<br>
Father Dominic<br>
For the deeds that were done in the name of our Lord<br>
God have mercy on us<br>
Villager<br>
Did our faith lead us here?<br>
Father Dominic<br>
Did I do all I could?<br>
Villagers<br>
They had children like us<br>
Will our wounds never heal?<br>
Lord, were we wrong to fight?<br>
They turned from you<br>
Lord, they were friends we'd known for all our lives<br>
Father Dominic<br>
Help us Lord, help us please<br>
Villagers<br>
In the land of our fathers, we have lost more than hope<br>
In the land of our fathers, will our village survive?<br>
Will they stay?<br>
Did they die for a reason?<br>
Will we ever forget...can we learn?<br>
We can never be certain what the future may bring!<br>
In the land it is winter, but we hope and we pray for spring...<br>
(The Protestants enter, with Martin and Benoit. Bertrande has her child in her arms)<br>
Martin<br>
May your journey be safe...may your child be strong<br>
And one day I pray you'll return to your land<br>
Bertrande<br>
But my grief would remain, and my sorrow would grow<br>
I must build a new life!<br>
It is my time to go...<br>
I have no need of land for the life I must live<br>
With my child and my faith<br>
I may learn to forgive<br>
(the Protestants with Benoit leave, Martin escorting them out)<br>
Villagers<br>
In the land of our fathers<br>
In the home of our sons <br>
(...) <br>
But still we can pray <br>
For our sons and our daughters <br>
(...) <br>
Villagers (overlapping with above)<br>
Grow...pray...and hope...and weep...and hope...and laugh.. (?) <br>
All Villagers<br>
In the land there's a future<br>
As the seasons will turn <br>
It belongs to our children<br>
Let the story survive to tell (?)<br>
Villagers<br>
Grow...pray...and hope...and weep...and hope...and laugh.. (?) <br>
(...)<br>
