the bulldozers came that day wanting,
they came to the place where the evening light stayed,
where memory, ceremony, imagination, the sacred,
and the snow forever remained,

they came that day and I pleaded with their greed…
please do not take my home away,
my heart lives here - I am a youth of the peaks,
this is where my ancestors and I pray.

awake and arise again!
shake off the dust from the nightmare,
and declare that you are not willing to compromise,
declare that you are a Youth of the Peaks!
