LYRICS:

VS1:
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 halo
and this is our life

PRE:
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

VS2:
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

PRE:
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
