I Am Sure
| I came from a clan | ||||
| whose memory | ||||
| has long since faded, | ||||
| Whose songs tremble | ||||
| only in my bones | ||||
| when the wind brings life, and death | ||||
| when waves crash on the shore. | ||||
| In my clan | ||||
| the creative power was honored. | ||||
| I am sure of it. | ||||
| In my clan | ||||
| children were cherished. | ||||
| I know, | ||||
| for I am here. | ||||
| How can anyone | ||||
| question my origin? | ||||
| I am of the earth. | ||||
| I am from the sky. | ||||
| The songs endure within me. | ||||
| I am sure of it. | ||||
