Ancestors

Edith Frost


When we go to glory 
When our time is over 
Will we stand unspoken for 
When the light becomes too blinding 

When my ancestors come to meet me 
They'll have questions about my drugging 
They may look on my enemies kindly 
When my life becomes a memory 
Will my ancestors meet me up there 

They may look upon me 
They may take it badly 
All the men I used to love 
All the things they won't approve of 

When my ancestors come to meet me 
Well I hope that they welcome me there 
They'll forgive me forgetting their names 
When the place becomes too frightening 
Will my ancestors meet me up there
