Riqueza's Dream

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

Chorus: My sisters, come along with me, a Highguard slave I'll not be My sisters, come along with me, a Highguard slave I'll not be

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

Chorus

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

Chorus

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

Chorus

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

Chorus

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

Chorus

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

Chorus

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

Chorus

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

Chorus
