Freedom is a gift
that we give ourselves,
when we are ready.

We Are Going Back to Gunland / ᎢᏧᎳ ᎱᎷᏣᏎ ᎦᎶᏇ-ᎡᎶᎯ ᏗᏜ

We are going back to Gunland
without a gun,
to the land of prejudice
without prejudice.
We have placed our faith
and our trust
in love,
the only safety
that we know.

On the Beach at Dawn / ᎠᎹᏳᎳᏗ ᎾᎿ ᎤᎩᏥᏍᎬ ᎾᎿᎢ

On the beach at dawn
low tide, dog tracks in sand,
Betty has been fishing.

ᎡᎳᏗ ᏓᏣᏁᎬ, ᎩᎵ-ᎦᏅᏅᎢᏗ ᏃᏯ ᎭᏫᎾ,
ᏇᏘ ᎠᏑᎲᏍᎩᏎ.
