For each child that’s born
A morning star rises
And sings to the universe
Who we are
We are our grandmother’s prayers
We are our grandfather’s dreamings
We are the breath of the ancestors
We are the spirit of god
We’re mothers of courage
Fathers of time
We’re daughters of dust
Sons of great visions
We’re sisters of mercy
Brothers of love
We’re lovers of life
Builders of nations
We’re seekers of truth
And keepers of faith
We’re makers of peace
And wisdom of ages
