Honor The Earth

Ab Eb Fm Gate of the north, Onondaga Db I was alone, I knew the names of my loves Ab Eb Fm Four legged and wings, mycelium, branches, and fins Db under the ocean, totems of what we would call God Ab Eb Fm the Creator who just happens to be neighbors with the law Db of nature, she’s a painter after all Ab Eb When the mountains knew our names and the rivers sang our songs Fm Db as they crashed into the ocean where the whales would sing along Ab We’re the people of the salmon Eb We’re the people of the rice Fm We’re the people of the kalo Db and this is our life Eb Fm Db I will be there when the work is done Eb Fm Db What I leave for my grandchildren Ab Eb Honor the Earth Fm the Mother comes first Db Live in a good way for her Ab Eb Fm Gate of the west, the Salish Sea Db The planet was warming by a couple degrees Ab Eb Fm From cedar and stone our actual origins unknown Db looking for answers in triangular lights in the sky Ab Eb No bees were buzzing they were struggling to survive Fm the data showed the shift in poles Db back when the coral was alive Ab We’re the people of the water Eb We’re the people of the maize Fm We’re the people from the stars Db and the keepers of the old ways Eb Fm Db I will be there when the work is done Eb Fm Db What I leave for my grandchildren Ab Eb Honor the Earth Fm the Mother comes first Db Live in a good way for her
