(Sing the verses as written; the chorus is sung to 'la'.)

Riqueza's Dream

To the tune of Cantari Cantem:

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:
