(Whispers) one, two, three and Father...
Going down the Ketanu River
From the Enos, Travlin the waterways
Of our ancestors rivers of time.
Cypress cedar and pine,
Painted paddles in our hands,
Pouring through the sacred land,
Water-song- spirit- n' rhythm Align..
Blessings as we look to our Father sky,
Seeing the eagles, lift our oars up high.
In thanks giving protocol,
We ask permission to dip way down
The Mother's life blood of flow
Through her sacred ground.
Chorus
My people, my land,
My people my land
This is the way that life was given,
The way we were made to stand.
My people, my land,
My people my land
Honor all creation,
Reverence for this way of life.
Greetings as we feel the sun's warmth,< br />Sparkling diamonds with waves splash abundant life,
Sacred light and sound.
Copper, wampum, and pearls,
Gather precious treasures of our world.
Trade,splendor,design,
And together we thrived, yeah.
Chorus
My people, my land,
My people my land
This is the way that life was given,
The way we were made to stand.
My people, my land,
My people my land
Honor all creation,
Reverence for this way of life.
