Mother's tears melt ice of the heart
Elder's songs burn away the fear
The planet is awakening
The universe is calling
We are the children of the Earth
We remember who we are
We are the medicine / We are the wealth
We are the power / We are the home
We are the ocean / We are the forest
We are flower / We are the land
We are the children of the Earth
We remember who we are
