No One’s Slave

No one’s slave I am no one’s master
On my grave they will write this after I am gone

I will be gone
And then my flesh will go to the earth it lived on
Breath will go to the air it lived from
I am through with the shame of my lying
I got my fill of the cruelty and crying
Earned my keep in the land where the dying deserts grow

And now I know
And now I’m looking up with a new perspective
Listening out for a new directive
Going home to the land of our mothers
I will walk with my sisters and brothers
We will share what is good with each other in our love

It is a love
It is a love that brings you the invitation
Join me now in my invocation
Mother Earth I was nearly the end of you
Please accept my desire to be friends with you
Now I know just how much I depend on you for life

You are my life
You are the life that grows in the flesh I am weaving
Life that blows in the air I’m breathing
I am strong as a tree on a mountain
Full and fresh as a free flowing fountain
Bright and clear as the stars beyond counting in the night

I am the lights
I am the light that shines in a thousand people
In my sight every life is equal No one’s slave…
