We are dancing Sarah's circle

Representative Text

1 We are dancing Sarah's circle,
we are dancing Sarah's circle,
we are dancing Sarah's circle,
sisters, brothers, all.

2 Here we seek and find our story,
here we seek and find our story,
here we seek and find our story,
sister, brothers, all.

3 We will all do our own naming,
we will all do our own naming,
we will all do our own naming,
sisters, brothers, all.

4 Every round a generation,
every round a generation,
every round a generation,
sisters, brothers, all.

5 On and on the circle's moving,
on and on the circle's moving,
on and on the circle's moving,
sisters, brothers, all.
