We Know the Way
We know the way, always knowing.
Adored in red, courage overflowing.
Forward looking, heads held high, sorrow still.
We walk on the green earth; wisdom enters our steps.
Mouths do not speak, our eyes speaking only.
The strength of many; we carry on our shoulders.
Broad, study shoulders given to us by them.
The triumph sun in all its goldness secures us.
We linger in it, but only for a while.
We hear their songs in the wind.
Guiding our feet, shielded in yellow, intellect is known,
kept in our secret place, our black place.
HE is with us, HIS orange wrap surrounds us,
never leaving our backs.
We know the way, always knowing.
Adored in black, orange, green, yellow and red,
never turning back, only to remember.
