A Young Man
A young man stands alone
But is not alone.
A young man stands firm in his resolve
For the People and the Land
A young man stands alone
For the women and children.
A young man stands alone
Tired of seeing his Dakotah Tiyospaye suffer in silence.
A young man stands alone with the heart and spirit of Dakotah Akicita.
A young man stands alone listening to the voices of the Ancestors in the wind.
A young man stands alone
But is not alone.
A young man stands alone
Willing to die for his beliefs.
A young man stands alone
With a clean spirit and a good heart.
A young man stands alone
And remembers that he is Dakotah and not sioux.
A young man stands alone with the heart and spirit of Dakotah Akicita.
A young man stands alone listening to the voices of the Ancestors in the wind.
