On My Road Of Education,
I wandered off the Reservation.
Into a whole new world I traveled,
Seeking a Knowledge; I knew not
where.
Things
were strange and new for me
as I arrived at my Destiny.
In despair I cried out, "Lord, help me to
Understand these ways that are so different
From My Homeland."
The Lord sent an answer to me, "Make
the
Most
of this diverse situation,
Do it for you and for your People back
On The Reservation."
So now my goal is to be: Setting an example
For all, Making my people proud
of me.
These
things I remember so well as I continue
My education, Keeping in my head
the Knowledge I learn,
so to the Indian People I
will tell...
As I wander back to the Reservation.
