We Are (Ysaÿe Barnwell)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTblERFg1vM
For each child that's born a morning star rises
and sings to the universe who we are. (Repeat 4 times)
|| : We are our grandmothers' prayers, and
We are our grandfathers' dreamings.
We are the breath of our ancestors.
We are the spirit of God.
We are: Mothers of courage and Fathers of time
We are Daughters of dust and Sons of great vision.
We’re sisters of mercy and Brothers of love
We are Lovers of life and the builders of nations.
We’re Seekers of truth, and Keepers of faith
We are Makers of peace and the wisdom of ages.
:||
|| : We are our grandmothers' prayers, and
We are our grandfathers' dreamings.
We are the breath of our ancestors.
We are the spirit of God. :||
|| : For each child that's born a morning star rises
and sings to the universe who we are. :||
We are one.
