Riqueza's Dream

A highborn lady I was born and raised In Bastion's halls where I spent my days

As I lay dreaming in the dead of night The sky was split by a comet's flight

And I dreamed I travelled to a far country Will you rise up my sisters, will you come with me?

I dreamed I walked along the road outside And I left that city where I'll no more abide

I dreamed I walked into the mountains high Where I reached to heaven and I touched the sky

And I dreamed I travelled to a far country Will you rise up my sisters, will you come with me?

I dreamed I travelled to the barren plain Where the winds blew dry and I prayed for rain

I dreamed I'd come at last to find the shore And there I'd settle and I'd go no more

For I dreamed I travelled to a far country Will you rise up my sisters, will you come with me?

I dreamed a nation was my legacy For a freeborn people shall my children be

It may be a simple dream and nothing more Still I'll set my course to that distant shore

For I dreamed I travelled to a far country Will you rise up my sisters, will you come with me?
