We wandered in the freedom of no borders and no nations
Roaming through vast continents seeking unfamiliar stars
Packs loaded with bright copper The best salt and beads of coral
To trade for a soft deerskin A week's rest or a marriage
Speaking different tongues yet knowing through our eyes
Alive in the joy of bodies joined in a place beyond all difference
Trading songs and skills and languages
Cooking around a common fire
Protection, warmth, and the miracle
Of gathering together in a circle
We wandered in the freedom of no borders and no nations
Joining with new people trusting unfamiliar stars
