lyrics

They lifted their hands into the air
Like trees reaching from the forest
Like a prayer grateful for
The world’s abundance

They lifted their hands to comply
To the shouts of agents
Violence tries to erase those who care

Now they rise in all of us
Now they shine
On all of us
Now their legacy
Is the forest they loved
Weelaunee
