Sometimes truth can only be told with poetry and music. When Cheryl-Anne Bower, the creative spirit behind Voices Rock Canada, and Susan O'Quinn, from Newfoundland's Mi'kmaq community, heard about the discovery of a burial ground of 215 indigenous  children in Kamloops they wrote a song for the children. And their mothers. LITTLE ANGELS  Written by: Cheryl Bower/Susan O'Quinn. Arranged: Mike Lerner Gently walk upon this land, as we lay a bed of feathers Sacred ground beneath our feet, precious bones remain forever Feet will never touch the floor, tiny shoes remain unworn The sun won't shine on faces, shine on faces anymore CHORUS/ Love the souls of little angels; bow our heads and softly (gently) weep Lay them down, in a bed of feathers, Little Angels, ever sleep. Mother covers them in earth    As she holds them in her heart Their souls never left behind As they rise up to the stars CHORUS/ BRIDGE/ Lullaby your souls to keep, as we watch the angels sleep Once were lost, but now are found, feathers gently on the ground Feet will never touch the shore, they're not forgotten anymore Their souls live on forever, souls live on forever more.... CHORUS/ Outro/ Look upon them as they sleep, bow our heads and gently weep Written by Cheryl-Anne Bower and Susan O'Quinn, from Newfoundland's Mi'kmaq community Lead singer: Cheryl-Anne Bower Arrangement: Mike Lerner Produced and Recorded by: Murray Foster, TORONTO, On. Musicians: Brian May (guitar), Liza McLellan (cello), Murray Foster (guitar), Mike Lerner (piano), Susan O'Quinn (drum). Backing Vocals: Cheryl-Anne Bower/Murray Foster
