Ancestral Dream

A song about where we came from, who we are, and where we're going. Features accordian and dulcimer. LYRICS:Puppeteer to a kingThe raising of sheepEscaping the slumsEmotions run deepSome rich and some poorThe foods and the danceA history of storiesAn ancestral tranceEndurance and courageSurvival and fearTheir hopes and their dreamsAnd shadows draw nearNot as real as we seemWe were dreamed into beingWe sing the creationThe ancestral dreamFamily secretsDeep family tiesOur fate to heal themAnd follow their criesBring light to their darknessLove to their shameLive in integrityLet go of the blameWith each of their giftsAnd wisdom tooFulfill every prayerAnd dream something newNot at big as we thinkNor as small as we pretendWe have to awakenFor the dream to endMay we fulfill the hopes you had for usMay we heal your sickness tooMay we recognize the doors you openedWith hearts open as we walk through
