I want to go home

to where we walk through pine

tree filled forests spotting spotted deer

In their prance

I want to go home

To the place

where our skinned covered shoes

comfort the ground while we dance

I want to go home

where I stand near a misty spring

cleansing while I’m surrounded by the winged

I want to go home

to where I sing under the sun

I want to go home

where all of us unite singing as one

I want to go home

where we are taught to honor

Grandmothers and Grandfathers from birth

I want to go home

where we help each other heal by

digging up roots from mother earth

I want to go home

where our stories are past down through

generations

I want to go home

where our warriors fought to protect

our Nations

I want to go home

to where I pray under the sun

I want to go home

where all of us unite standing as one
