The Stars
They shine through the night guiding our way
They glimmer with beauty giving us faith
Some tell us stories back through the ages
Some are our Ancestors keeping us safe
 
All share the journey that has always been ours
That we travel together through lifetimes again
Learning the secrets, the Universe share
To those who are willing, to those that care
 
Worries were few with their days laid out
Each one knowing what they needed to do
Knowledge passed on to young from old
Skills for living worth more than gold
 
Life was simple when we followed the stars
Living each day from the gifts of this land
Returning their when our time ran out
Our spirits flying to become the light
That guide our families through the night
 
Our creator Biami gifted us this, instructions written for all to see
Knowledge to farm and hunt through the days
When to move and when to stay
And when the times came to say goodbye
A way to live on through the stars in the sky
