“Roots” refers to our legacy for survival inherited from our Ancestors. The “vision” is to survive, to prosper and push ourselves into a future of our making. Our souls are a ledger of what and how we’ve survived collectively, who taught us. The “American prophecy” is fulfilled by who will follow us and continue to change the world.
Text
Our roots are in the vision
Promises for suffering sown
Strong as heartwood, sure as stone
May our marrow guide us home
Through this life and the next
What the earth knows, never dies
Our soul is an archive
We evolve, we survive
– Brittny Ray Crowell
