Lyrics
The roots run deep the soul mother earth
Protecting people their sacred birth
Not whose first, but where you belong
Where many old spirits dance your song
Piece of paper and devils eye
For this you let my people die
To return our land, our lullabies
Through the earth, the sky will pay the price
Through the earth, the sky, our soul will rise
Share the life give corn seeds to sow
These old traditions have years to grow
You have no spirit, no right, no god
You are the death from graves you rob
Piece of paper and devils eye
For this you let my people die
To return our land, our lullabies
Through the earth, the sky will pay the price
Through the earth, the sky, our soul will rise
Mahk Jchi tahm booee yahm pigihdee
Mahk Jchi tahm booee khan spewah ehbi
Mahk Jchi tahm booee yahm pigihdee
Mahk Jchi tahm booee khan spewah ehbi
Mahmpi wah hoka yi nonk
Tah hond tahni kihyee tiyee
Ghee weh meh yee-tiyee
Nanka yaht yah mooniyeh wahjhiseh
Nanka yaht yah mooniyeh wahjhiseh
