Adam, walking home, straight from school
And Rachel, holding little Miriam up in arms
Joseph, is home, taking care of Peter,
The elder looks after his brother,
That's how it works in our yarn.
Cecilia, she likes to sing a song,
And that's to please me.
Gather up around the hearth,
Sit down on the carpet floor
We'll stay together, no matter what.

But now is time to part
Will you tell them about me?
Please tell the about us.
When I'm gone, please tell them about me.

You take us all
You take our souls

I need you, my young survivors of the shipwreck.
