Born Under the Lucky Star
I wonder how things would be if I lived my origin and was apart of my tribe
I wonder what i could learn about my ancestry and how my thought and feelings would vibe
the fruit of knowledge came from my family tree
there is much lost ,stolen, and burned history
my grandfather William Coleman Collier was born olive skinned toned man
through my bloodline our native ancestry were forced to be white or be killed on our land
I know why our country folks lived far hidden in the hills
they lived to have freedom and not be killed.
