Sweet Honey in the Rock

Sweet Honey in the Rock is an all-woman, African-American a cappella ensemble. They are an American Grammy Award-winning (and many times nominated) troupe who express their history as women of color through song, dance, and sign language. They have together worked from four women to the difficult five-part harmony with a sixth member translating with sign language. Although the members have changed over 3 decades, they continue to sing and have helped to produce several children's records as well as those intended for adults. more »

For each child that born
A morning star rises and sings
To the universe who we are

For each child that born 
A morning star rises and sings
To the universe who we are

For each child that born 
A morning star rises and sings 
To the universe who we are

We are our grandmothers prayers
We are our grandfathers dreamings
We are the breath of the ancestors
We are the spirit of God

We are Mothers of courage
Fathers of time
Daughters of dust
Sons of great visions
We are sisters of mercy
Brothers of love 
Lovers of life and the builders of nations

We're seekers of truth
And keepers of faith 
Makers of peace wisdom of ages 

We are our grandmothers prayers
And we are our grandfaters dreamings
We are the breath of the ancestors 
We are the spirit of God

We are mothers of courage
Fathers of time
We are daughters of dust
And sons of great vision 
We are sisters of mercy
Brothers of love
We're lovers of life and the builders of nations
We're seekers of truth and keepers of faith
Makers of peace and the wisdom of ages

We are our grandmothers prayers 
And we are our grandfathers dreamings
We are the breath of our ancestors we are the spirit of God

For each child that born 
A morning star rises and sings 
To the universe who we are

For each child that born 
A morning star rises and sings 
To the universe who we are

For each child that born 
A morning star rises and sings 
To the universe who we are

For each child that born 
A morning star rises and sings 
To the universe who we are

We are one
