I want to learn
Can you teach me?
Traditions long gone
Cry out to me
Lessons not of
My family history
The utmost respect
Of the past I see
Ancient voices
Calling to me
To learn of places
I long to be
Long ago things
I'll never see
Buffalo grazing
Across the prairies
The vastness of land
That stretched to the sea
Was I there before?
Could that be?
A look into the past
What would I see?
I want to know
Will you teach me?
