The Mob
Women and children left in the care of the Old Ones
The men set out on their journey
Hunting is Men's business and they are set to travel far
They know the Ancestors are leading the way and they follow the signs the mob leaves behind
High in the sky the eagle is their sentinel and day after day he soars above to show the way
Each day they continue to follow the signs on the ground and the eagle in the sky until the day they reach the waterholes where the mob is settled in
They will go home warriors with plenty of good tucker
The Ancestors shine down happy with their journey
The land smiles
The grass grows
The rivers flow
The people live in harmony with the land and
The world continues to turn
