about

Dedicated to our Cree parents, grandparents and Elders that lived a traditional life of hunting, trapping and fishing. They worked hard hunting for food, using their knowledge of the land and animals to keep us alive. They gave us life and the wonderful existence we have now. Today, we owe everything we have to our fathers. mothers and ancestors.

lyrics

So we sat on evergreen boughs
The firelight flickered on the teepee walls
And our father spoke as we sat and listened
Of how they lived their lives out on the land

And the shadows danced to the firelight
She began to sing, he began to drum
Of how they lived their lives deep in the forest
And how they stayed alive and gave us life

All the times they spent, only each other
All the nights they had, holding each other
Now those days are gone forever

And as the morning light came, glistened thru the trees
We packed our things away travelled on the river
Our father led us out, away from the storm
Gotta make it home he said before the light goes down

Repeat chrs

So we sit here all alone
All I want is to see them again
And I don't know which way I'm goin
But I know the'll be in my heart

Repeat chrs
