[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
I will be there when the work is done
What I leave for my grandchildren
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
Live in a good way for her
Live in a good way for her
