One By One

Wedgwoods on the road - August 1971 near Salina, Kansas.

One by one, they awoke.
The children gathered and
began to remember the songs.

The words awoke in their memories.
One by one, the old songs came out
and inspired new dances.

The children knew the words were borrowed
but the memories were brand new,
being made up as you go along.

They sang.

The words became new.
