Grandmother Song
[Refrain]
I hear the voice of my
Grandmother calling me
I hear the voice of my
Grandmother’s song
She says: stand in your power,
women stand in your power.
Listen, listen.
Listen, listen.
(Refrain)
She says: give birth, give life
mothers give birth, give life
Listen, listen.
Listen, listen.
(Refrain)
She says: teach them, be wise
grow and teach them, be wise
Listen, listen.
Listen, listen.
(Refrain)
She say: wake up, wake up,
child wake up, wake up
Listen, listen.
Listen, listen.
May de waters all run clear.
May the mountains be unspoiled.
May the air be clean,
may the trees grow tall,
may the earth be shared by all.
