FGive it time and wonder why dAmo what we can laugh and we cry
Cand we sleep in your dust because we've seen this all bGefore.
FCulture fades with tears and grace lAmeaving us stunned hollow with shame we
have Cseen this all, seen this all beforGe.
FMany tribes of a modern kind, doing Ambrand new work, same spirit by side,
joining hCearts and hand and ancestral twine, ancGestral twine.
