Saint Teresa, your patron child's come home
Were you there to greet her?
Did your angels know her songs?
And all of her sorrows
Did you lift them from her brow?
And did you kiss her hand that took her soul
Back up to you ... my patron saint
Of harmony and vow
Help me in this stillness
Tell me the things I need to know
How we loved your patron child
We say, so long ... and so long ago
Saint Teresa
Can you speak to me at all
Ah, from here where will we go?
Saint Teresa
Saint Teresa, she was our sister of arms
Gone now the trio
To our Lady, Kate and John
And fare to fare
Of the tears that cannot fall
We send this melody please help her sing along
Back up to you our patron saint
Of harmony and song
Help me in this stillness
Tell me the things I need to know
How we loved your patron child
We say, so long ... and so long ago
And Saint Teresa
Can you speak to me at all
Ah, from here where will we go?
Saint Teresa
Back up to her patron saint
Beyond our wood those lights
Saint Teresa of Avila
Discalced de carmelites
Back up to her patron saint
And beyond our wood those lights
Saint Teresa of Avila
Discalced de carmelites
Saint Cecelia to Saint Teresa,
"Your patron child is home"
(There are lights beyond our woods)
Saint Teresa of Avila ...
Discalced de carmelites
(Lights)
Saint Teresa of Avila ...
Discalced de carmelites
(Lights)
(...In Memory of Our Sister Teresa ... "We understand"...)
