Doctahs! All of dem . How I love these beauties ! When I die .... You can bury me , you can weep cry , let these bones take root , let them bear fruit , lawd a MERCY

I feel so blessed to have known the music of Sweet Honey in the Rock. Each lyric seems like a poem that was born from the deepest feeling of humanity.

Too many of my friends are dead. Gone too soon. This song brings me comfort.

Powerful like listening to the ancestors

love you dear Ysaye.....thank you for your gifts and how I'v been blessed by you and the music you make....

Sorrow to celebratory. Mournful to majesty. An atomic (energy) transformation from one state of mind to another. Very powerful. Awa Sankofa!

5 minutes in I love it...cause still I rise!

I love these women and the music they provide

where is all that talking and commotion coming from?? So hard to enjoy the richness of this. Still, it is really so heartfelt.

Just beautiful, beautiful,beautiful!

lyrics (please correct if I heard it wrong!) When I Die When I die you can bury me upon the mountain top (2x) When I die let my spirit breathe, let it soar like an eagle to the highest peak Lord have mercy when I die When I die, you can cast me out into the ocean wide (2x) When I die, let my spirit cry. Let it add to the tears that make the ocean deeper When I die you can bury me way down deep in the ground (2x) When I die let these bones take root like a seed that has been planted, let it come up bearing fruit When I die you can toss me to the winds of time (2x) When I die let my ashes roam, blow here and blow there I know that they are going to find their true home when I die Lord have mercy when I die Take me up on the mountaintop out in the ocean wide take me way down deep in the ground or out on the winds of time when I die

I love these ladies.

Her range is ridiculous!!!

My father gave us the best childhood ever...I love him and I love you QUEENS

Love to see old folks moving! It added to the sound!

Oh Sisters, how you lift me up!

Wow!!!! Ancestors come through

I had this album on cassette. There were several classics on it, like this,one and I think “would you shelter”It’s kind of rare now, I think.

Wonderful! I love this song and the commentary by Ysaye is also very instructive.

Great woman.

This is more catchy then the one from there’s album “In This Land” (1992)

Yes ! World💣

You should notate who is in the group at this time and the lead singer and writer of this song. Give credit where credit is due.
