To those that dream - Joanne Shenandoah & A. Paul Ortega (cover by Kat Poreba)

Hello dear Souls 🤍🕊
I felt like sharing my one of my beloved songs by and Joanne Shenandoah (Oneida Nation, Wolf Clan) and A. Paul Ortega (Apache).
🌱
Several years ago I came across Joanne’s music and immediately got mesmerized. Little did I know how significant both her work and she herself are. Joanne is the (Grammy-awarded) matriarch of Indigenous music, who has blended Iroquois songs with modern instrumentation and arrangements. Sadly, she passed away on 21 Nov, 2021 - may her Soul Sing in Peace.
A. Paul Ortega is not only an accomplished and revolutionary Native American musician, but also a medicine man.
🌱
“To those who dream” is a song that deeply touches my hopes and dreams for the humanity. I feel Joanne is not only the Voice of her People, but also an advocate for the global change of minds and hearts. I truly recommend learning more about her and her pure yet powerful music.
Quoting after Lennon, “You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one”.
🤍 🕊

🌿Lyrics:🌿
For so long
I dreamed a dream
where the sweetgrass still grows
and where the wise ones still know
how to dream
For so long
I dreamed a dream
where the people
spoke their tongue
and where the elders
still teach the young
I dreamed a dream.
To those that dream
I sing this song
above and beyond
Skalonyaday
beyond the sky they dream.
To those that dream
above the stars
wherever they are
Skalonyaday
Beyond the sky they dream.
For so long
I dreamed a dream
where the fighters
lay down their guns
and where the people
became as one
I dreamed a dream.
Aguego lona nasoah skalonyaday.
🕊🤍
