Honor The Earth

(álbum: Take Your Power Back - 2020)

Gate of the north
Onondaga
I was alone, I knew the names of my loves
Four-legged and wings
Mycelium branches and fins
Under the ocean, totems of what we would call God
The Creator
Who just happens to be neighbors
With the law of nature
She's a painter, after all

When the mountains knew our names
And the rivers sang our songs
As they crashed into the ocean
Where the whales would sing along
We're the people of the salmon
We're the people of the rice
We're the people of the kalo
And this is our life

I will be there when the work is done
What I leave for my grandchildren

Honor the earth
The mother comes first
Live in a good way for her
Honor the earth
The mother comes first
Live in a good way for her

Live in a good way for her, oh-oh
Live in a good way for her

Gate of the west
The Salish Sea
The planet was warming by a couple degrees
From cedar and stone
Our actual origins unknown
Looking for answers in triangular lights in the sky

No bees were buzzing
They were struggling to survive
The data showed the shift in poles
Back when the coral was alive
We're the people of the water
We're the people of the maize
We're the people from the stars
And the keepers of the old ways

I will be there when the work is done
What I leave for my grandchildren

Honor the earth
The mother comes first
Live in a good way for her
Honor the earth
The mother comes first
Live in a good way for her

Live in a good way for her, oh-oh
Live in a good way for her
Live in a good way for her, oh-oh
Live in a good way for her
