A Wanderer’s Story Five (Chaconne Gala)

(dedicated to Ms. Danielle de Niese, a gifted soprano) though darkness may fall upon our hearts and days we keep the faith and go on in distant steppe of Central Asia we were born seeking our destiny we still chase chances we become glittering wind those sensuous mermaids of purple sea sing magically the sojourner songs why all love descend to us, dear? with you I face this wild world if we learn intensely that there is a dream, a hope to be had there correctly we have to be confident I shall follow you patiently, my love to the ends of the misty Tropic Forests we dive bravely to depths of Pacific Ocean we surely conquer lofty peaks, and dark caves
