We Shall Dance Again
Journey Through Time: Embracing Destiny in Echoes of Ancient Wisdom
Lyrics
On one misty morning, my ship put out to sea
Embarking on a journey at dawn, setting sail
to unknown destinations, with just a map dreams
Navigating toward unknown destinations with dreams as the only guide
'cross the lost horizon, she saw me disappear
Vanishing on the lost horizon, leaving behind a presence
Knowing I must journey, in and out of years
Acknowledging the necessity to journey through time
I met an ancient traveler, as east the wind did blow
Encountering an ancient traveler influenced by the eastern wind
We climbed a magic mountain, as tales to me he told
Climbing a mystical mountain while listening to tales
Of far and distant empires, of some who hold a key
Learning about distant empires and those with special significance
On my way he sent me, to meet with destiny
Directed on a path towards destiny by the ancient traveler
Old sailors they know the winds
Experiencing and understanding the winds as known by seasoned sailors
Youngbloods could never know
A contrast between the wisdom of old sailors and the inexperience of the young
Hi-nishwa'-vita-kini
Reference to "Hi-nishwa'-vita-kini," meaning "we shall live again" in Cheyenne
And we shall dance again
Expressing the hope for a future dance, a metaphor for a renewed life
Then my boat of sorrows, on a shore did land,
Arrival at a shore with a boat symbolizing past sorrows
Four and sixty long years I wandered through the sand
Wandering through the sands for many years
I came upon a people, talking with no words
Encountering people communicating without words
They showed me to a gateway,
Guided to a gateway representing a significant discovery
I saw you everywhere.
Perceiving the presence of a significant person everywhere
Old sailors they know the winds
Reiteration of the wisdom of old sailors regarding the winds
Youngbloods could never know
Contrast between the knowledge of seasoned sailors and the ignorance of the young
Hi-nishwa'-vita-kini
Repeating the Cheyenne phrase, emphasizing the hope for revival
And we shall dance again
Reaffirming the anticipation of a future dance and renewal of life
Old sailors we know the winds
Emphasizing the continued understanding of the winds by experienced sailors
Youngbloods could never know
Highlighting the contrast between the wisdom of old sailors and the naivety of the young
Hi-nishwa'-vita-kini
Reiterating the Cheyenne phrase, emphasizing the belief in living again
I'm going home
Expressing a return home, possibly to a place of spiritual significance
Old sailors know the winds
Reaffirming the wisdom of old sailors regarding the winds
And we shall dance again
Concluding with the anticipation of a future dance, symbolizing renewal
*Hi-niswa' vita'ki'ni in the Cheyenne language means: "we shall live again"
Repeating the Cheyenne phrase, underscoring the theme of rebirth and renewal
