Native Whisper of the Winds

Legends of tribes roam across the plains Bold spirits guarding their own mighty land They dance and offer songs to ease lost reign And nourish life when soldiers flag on, Encircling a bonfire with shaman’s praise. The whisper of the winds gives them strength An Indian terrain, they protect Oh, hear drumbeats pound a mighty roar As chieftain gathers the arrow’s quest For the call of blood, for freedom’s dreams. Legends passed from generations Navajos marginalized, tales unfold When duskfall speaks of native wisdom To recount strides in brave moccasins Marking prints from whisper of the winds. 'In the Name of Love for Country - and Brian's Select 6
