We the people

Don’t let the wind
blow your dreams away.
Don’t let the rain
bury joy beneath the sea.
This land is yours
while you circle the sun
and fear will never
let your heart stray from
what you know is
the path of common
cause – each man’s shoulder
waits for a head to rest,
each woman’s arms
will hold you to her breast.
We dance, we dance
together, this is all I know
the dance oh the dance –
we did it yes, we did,
we pulled the grass up
from roots forever deep.
I’m glad I have your
light and surely you
can see I am forever
at your side,
breathe, my people, breathe.
