St Catherine in Chains
St Catherine in Chains (Tekakwitha’s Dream)

1
Last night I dreamed I was St Catherine in chains
They cut my hair, and they led me to my grave
And I dreamed that my spirit was released
From the earth where I fell down on my knees:
In my dreams

2
And then I dreamed that they took away my name
Set me alone in the prism of my shame
And I dreamed that my spirit was set free
Shining out through the darkness of history:
In my dreams

Refrain 1
And so—
Who do you hold to
Who do you hold to
Who do you hold to
When you’re alone
3
One day I’ll dream I can break these prison chains
And we will walk in the sunshine and light again
And breathe the air of a freedom that we dream
In ten billion tears that were born of St Catherine:
In our dreams
In our dreams

Refrain 2
So who do you hold to?
Who do you dream of?
Who shares your freedom?
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
