Sung to: The First Noel Words by: Lord Brian Ambrose O’Driscoll
The first event that I had ever been Was the Estrella that was attacked by the wind My little dome tent held up through the night, Even after the one next to me did take flight
I came by myself and camped all alone but in the middle of the night an encampment had grown A household camped round me and invited me in I was new to the Society and hadn’t a friend
I wandered around amazed at the sight I sent a whole day just watching them fight Rolling Thunder’s drums could be heard in the air You could find their encampment from anywhere
The night when the winds came, I had just lain down When all of my body the tent did surround I couldn’t imagine what molded it to me So I headed out of it so I could see
CHORUS
People rushed about in the middle of the night Trying to ensure everyone was alright Everyone was working hard to recover from the blow All helping each other, even those they don’t know
CHORUS
On Merchant’s row many tents were knocked flat But the fallen merchandise remained where it’s at Some where tied down before the Merchants arrived Letting them come and see their Business survived
CHORUS
People thinking of others long before himself Of Compassion and Brotherhood we had great wealth Working side by side all the way to the dawn Seeking out the poor people whose shelters were gone
