About the Song
Song for Standing Rock. Info on Sara at: www.sarathomsen.com/
All my relations, come
Every nation, come
All my relations under the sun
We are one
We are praying, come (2x)
We are the song and we are the drum / We…
We are the river, come (2x)
We are the boat, the paddle, the shore / We…
Mni wičoni, sing (Mitakuye Oyasin…)
Mni wičoni, sing
Mni wičoni, “water is life”
For everything
We are the water, sing (2x)
We are the water
We are where all life begins
We are the ancient ones (2x)
In your breath and bones we sing on
We are one
We are the meadow, come (2x)
We are the lark that sings
The new day has begun
We are the new day, run, run, run (2x)
We are the old and we are the young
We are one
We are the earth and sky
We are the thunder cries
We are the fire
We are the light in your eyes
We are standing strong
Like a rock, like a stone
On this sacred ground we belong
We are home
