Broken Pearls
Once, they rode strong on the plains
Before
conquistadors
bent their will.
Strained their backs, cracked their whips
Made
them wear strange hides and speak strange tongues.
Refrain:
But when the time is right
To turn the tide
But not without
great loss
To turn the tide!
Part II:
Come again, oh strong one
Strengthen your will, stand
tall
Remember the Lost Ones and the glory!
Restore freedom in your heart
Replenish well your table, love the earth
Ride free again and tell your story!
Pick up your arrow, shoot it straight (x2)
Forced to swallow all the shame
And leave dying ashes and broken pearls
So once, they rode strong on the plains
But now, there's
dying ashes
and broken pearls
Broken pearls
Broken pearls.....
Just a few words on mental decolonising.....maybe.
Modern take on the Pocahontas tale.
