I'm of a people that comes from far away
Beyond the beginning of time
And we come singing the verses
That my grandfather sang

Singing first to the earth
Then I sing to my father in the sky
Then I sing to my four grandparents
Then I sing to my dreams

In order that the cry that spills my blood onto the earth
Be not silenced
As water transforms stone
So loving you transforms me

When fire heats rock
Water comes and discovers that it is air
I discover that I am the look in the eye
The memory of a people

Because I'm an old traveller
Walking a path of stars
In the Earth I'm a tiny speck
But in the sky, a comet

Because I'm an old traveller
Walking a path of stars
In the Earth I'm a tiny speck
But in the sky, a comet
