Will Overcome And Grow

The timeless beauty of the river flow,
when the gentle-hearted woman we adore
sings song of sorrow in morning sunlight,
inspires our hearts with passion to endure
hard times of pain that fortune hurls at us,
for one day we will overcome and grow.

The red three-legged crow of my sad heart
spreads wings of fire and soars into the sky
to spread conceptual energy of hope
far over land of people trapped by fear
so they unite their hearts with new-born faith
for one day we will overcome and grow.

Though pirate kings in tall towers of gold
sends angels in silver airplanes of greed
to bomb our cultural heritage into rubble,
we walk together in waste land of fear
to build new homes on sparkling river shore
for one day we will overcome and grow.

When huge armies of aggressive believers
storm toward heavenly city of libraries,
we gather books and scrolls of sacred wisdom
and flee in wagons into mountain woods
to save great tales of ancestors from gods
for one day we will overcome and grow.

Though our homes are bombed into memories,
and we must wander signless roads of hope
between invisible borders of nations,
where our firm birth right to citizenship
is canceled by the tyrant in gold tower,
yet one day we will overcome and grow.

If name of our first mother who formed us
from fertile laughter of the river flow
is erased from maps our ancestors drew,
and we are driven from garden she built,
we will sing her name in our midnight songs
for one day we will overcome and grow.

Heart-breaking beauty of the mountain ridge
illuminated by red sunset glow
beneath shocking truth of cerulean skies
revives our broken hearts with healing psalms
we sing to help us endure long cold nights
for one day we will overcome and grow.

Asserting vision of our will for freedom
based on equal justice for every soul,
we rise from rubble of our fallen nation,
destroyed by oligarchs to chain our hearts,
and free all slaves from hunger and despair,
for one day we will overcome and grow.
