Where oh where are the sweetest songs
Of Miriam and her daughters?
They were sung beside the seas and tides
So still must be out on the waters
Still on the waters
Where oh where is the wisdom
Sought by the many before us?
She was there inside the tree of life
So still must reside in the forest
Still in the forest
Yai da dai da dai dum dai, dai dum dai, dai da dum dai
Yai da dai da dai dum dai, dai dum dai, dai da dum dai
Where oh where is the innocence
Of our first days in Eden?
They used to rest their heads on the flowerbeds
So still must be there in the gardens
Still in the gardens
Yai da dai da dai dum dai, dai dum dai, dai da dum dai
Yai da dai da dai dum dai, dai dum dai, dai da dum dai
Where oh where's the forgiveness
From the age of the flood so long ago?
Under all the rain, the earth remained
So it's still in the fields and the meadows
In the fields and the meadows
Yai da dai da dai dum dai, dai dum dai, dai da dum dai
Yai da dai da dai dum dai, dai dum dai, dai da dum dai
Where oh where's our compassion?
Is it somewhere we can discover?
It's never too far, it's right where you are
It's always been in the arms of each other
