Let's Keep our Hope High The song begins with a ritual chant, a greeting which includes all spiritual beings and their creator. In our material world, we often forget to give this priority. But the eternal is the true nature our spirit, even if the material is its partner. These kinds of rituals have been important for countless generations, but with time they are being forgotten. Yet it is precisely these which allow us to draw strength from the source. The song is a tribute to a ritual that is practiced by the indigenous Lakota people.
