I saw the dream The yesterday The today The tomorrow Alive and sparkling in her eyes On her cheeks the glow of pride As the young hand reached out in Greeting to the Warrior And the Spirit no longer quiet within her Sparked and danced to the Drumbeat of the Mother I saw the future of our People the past alive within her The young People around the Drum Their hearts singing voices carrying back for their People their Ancestors their Parents their Children yet to come In their eyes shown the courage of generations of Dreams yet unbidden of Truth future Wisdom battles to be won Hearts upon their sleeves trailing Ribbons Colors of the Directions Our future
