AMERICA, THE DAWN

“Our America was never conquered,”, the Indians say.

“Our history doesn't deal with the vanquished,

but with us who have survived 500 years of suffering and injustice!

God, Heart of Heaven,

Heart of the Earth, let the day come,

let it become light, let the peoples know peace,

and let them be happy.”
