Ember Afterglow from Unfinished Business by Eric Folkerth

Faces flicker in the fire light
Round the sacred circle tonight
Where we sing our songs and feel all right
Around an ember afterglow

Night grows deep and firelight dies
Notes are birth and voices rise
And we hear what can’t be seen with eyes.
Around an ember afterglow

Ember afterglow
Ember afterglow
This sacred space we know
Around an ember afterglow

Circled by friends new and old
We sing our truth out loud and bold
To brace each other from the cold
Beyond this ember afterglow.

And on these nights it often seems
We’re living out what’s in our genes
To tell a story or sing a scene.
Around some ember after glow

Ember afterglow
Ember afterglow
This sacred space we know
Around an ember afterglow

And in the cold light of the morning
When the voices all are still
And the memories fade and flicker
And the real world since it’s chill
We can brush aside those ashes
Even miles on down the road
And still find their burning in us
That ember afterglow

Ember afterglow
Ember afterglow
This sacred space we know
Around an ember afterglow
