Patience and Sarah lyrics

The house I live in

Was built a long time ago

By two women who came here

Thought it was a good place to call home

I feel like I know them

When I'm wandering on the land when

The sun comes colored through windows

Made by hand

They left New England homes and came here to find

A way of life and freedom that they had been denied

The year was 1817 and through this spring the time

They knew their love would see them through

Their love they would not hide

Sarah, the farmer, the traveler

Patience, the teacher, the painter

Women of courage and power

Breaking ground

They left behind families

Where they'd been beaten and scorned

But their love was so beautiful

They knew they'd done no wrong

With proud hearts and steady hands

They set out on their own

Into the wild world they went

To find themselves a home

Sarah, the farmer, the traveler

Patience, the teacher, the painter

Women of courage and power

Breaking ground

The house I live in

Was built a long time ago

By two women who came here

Thought it was a good place to call home

I feel like I know them

When I'm wandering on the land when

The sun comes colored through windows

Made by hand
