Children of the Mist I hear your footsteps in the sand Across each corner of this wide and empty land. I see your sorrow, I feel your plight Of generations past now put to flight. The curling mist, the gentle touch of rain on my face could never remove your history from this place.
For Children of the Mist I see your footsteps in the sand Hold your head up high come beside me and make a stand. The dust has settled and your offspring will enjoy the celebration For the blood that flows through your veins is our very foundation And look with pride as the sun now shines through Embracing you into a world where hope reigns anew. by Scott Balson (Copyright 2007) |
