lyrics

The Ballad of Freida the Goose
©2007 Wendell Kimbrough

Freida, where do you go when the snow falls?
Freida, why don’t you leave when the geese call?
You have landed here in our backyard,
And you never wander very far.

Freida, you pace through the grass with your webbed feet.
Freida, there are no other geese here for you to meet.
They have left here flying north toward home.
Darling Freida, why are you here alone?

Freida, did you have someone you were close to?
Freida, did that someone die or abandon you?
Are you hurt or scared or trying to hide?
Do you need someone who’s on your side?

Freida, all of us know how you feel:
We’ve been hurt, dear, we’ve been hungry in search of a meal;
But does the dirt here really taste so good
That you won’t fly away when you know that you could?

Freida, find your way home;
Freida, find your way home.
It might not be perfect but it’s better than being alone.
Find your way home.

This is a great collection of settings for the Psalms. It's diverse in it's music as well as in the poetry. Some has a Reformation/Puritan feel, others are much more modern retellings. Garrett Lee
