out of the clay and sand,
we rose...
out of the mist and dark with our first breath,
we dared...
to sail beyond the ninth wave,
into your future of mythic tales,

upon our sturdy backs,
we carved...
in blood and bone,
the history of your community,

as memories and dreams,
we gifted,
our eternal legacy,
to your children's children,

in the circle of time,
we are you,
remember us,
we cry...
