Lyrics
Shall we go on?
Shall we go on together?
(oh, it’s too hard alone)
I see the seven generations looking back this way.
My daughter tells me the future’s in my hands.
My granddaughter says the future’s in my heart.
My great grandson remembers my hands.
My great granddaughter holds my heart.
Remember your heart.
—Moira Smiley
