Will Overcome And Grow

The timeless beauty of the river flow, 
when the gentle-hearted woman we adore 
sings song of sorrow in morning sunlight, 
inspires our hearts with passion to endure 
hard times of pain that fortune hurls at us, 
for one day we will overcome and grow. 

The red three-legged crow of my sad heart 
spreads wings of fire and soars into the sky 
to spread conceptual energy of hope 
far over land of people trapped by fear 
so they unite their hearts with new-born faith 
for one day we will overcome and grow. 

Though pirate kings in tall towers of gold 
sends angels in silver airplanes of greed 
to bomb our cultural heritage into rubble, 
we walk together in waste land of fear 
to build new homes on sparkling river shore 
for one day we will overcome and grow. 

When huge armies of aggressive believers 
storm toward heavenly city of libraries, 
we gather books and scrolls of sacred wisdom 
and flee in wagons into mountain woods 
to save great tales of ancestors from gods 
for one day we will overcome and grow. 

Though our homes are bombed into memories, 
and we must wander signless roads of hope 
between invisible borders of nations, 
where our firm birth right to citizenship 
is canceled by the tyrant in gold tower, 
yet one day we will overcome and grow. 

If name of our first mother who formed us 
from fertile laughter of the river flow 
is erased from maps our ancestors drew, 
and we are driven from garden she built, 
we will sing her name in our midnight songs 
for one day we will overcome and grow. 

Heart-breaking beauty of the mountain ridge 
illuminated by red sunset glow 
beneath shocking truth of cerulean skies 
revives our broken hearts with healing psalms 
we sing to help us endure long cold nights 
for one day we will overcome and grow. 

Asserting vision of our will for freedom 
based on equal justice for every soul, 
we rise from rubble of our fallen nation, 
destroyed by oligarchs to chain our hearts, 
and free all slaves from hunger and despair, 
for one day we will overcome and grow.
