Oh to drag my shaking fingers Through the cracked Arizona ground once more, Your dark face staring back at me Sitting upon the land your fathers promised you, Promising to stand beside you As you battle the salted waters. Oh I would give it all back to you, My sweet love from a land beyond. This earth that rightfully belongs to you And the cracks upon her face, The junipers in their genorosity, The moon, a goddess in all her radiance. I would give it all back in a heartbeat, Heavy as the thunders in monsoon. I would give it all back to tell your fathers That you never failed them, Even when they came to you with guns.
You had a spirit I will never forget, a presence I will never feel again, and a beauty I will never achieve.
