Brothers Under the Sun

(Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron Soundtrack)

Jake Sully watched as the powerful toruk flew higher and higher into the air, flying free. There was no place for the mighty warrior in a time of peace. For the Sky War had ended and the young dreamwalker knew there was no need for toruk makto. Yet he still felt the connection between them. He could feel its power wings beat against the western winds and its pounding heart drum in time with his own. Turok and rider were of the same heart and spirit. Together they had flown upon wings of fire against those who wished their land harm.

I had a dream - of the thick green forests
I had a dream - of the pale morning sky
I had a dream - that we flew on golden wings
And we were the same - just the same - you and I

But despite their connection, their bond, the toruk was meant to be wild and free. The fierce creature was never meant to be tamed. So Jake had let it go. He hoped his Last Shadow would find its way back home among the whispering western wind. But he hoped that the toruk wouldn't forget him, the dreamwalker that had fought with him for their land. For toruk and rider were brother spirits – he of the land and the toruk of the sky -- wild and free.

Follow your heart - little child of the west wind
Follow the voice - that's calling you home
Follow your dreams - but always, remember me
I am your brother - under the sun

He remembered as he mounted the toruk for one last flight before he made himself release it. Jake wouldn't forget the deep look of the creature's four eyes as it stared back at him. It was as though the toruk knew his plans and was begging Jake to stay. But Jake couldn't do that to the majestic dragon. Their hearts were forever joined and Jake knew that both of their hearts wanted to be wild and free. But it was that look in which Jake knew that the toruk would never forget him. The creature too would forever feel their brother spirits.

We are like birds of a feather
We are two hearts joined together
We will be forever as one
My brother under the sun

Jake wondered what the toruk would do now that it had flown with him into battle and then set free. He pondered at the wonders it would see from above. Somehow, he thought the creature would be curious of what his future held too. Because they were only a heartbeat away from each other… with just one heartbeat and a call, the two brother spirits would rise into the vast skies once more.


Wherever you hear - the wind in the leaves
Wherever you see - the
Yerik run
Wherever you go - I'll be there beside you
Cos you are my brother - my brother under the sun
