Beneath the Path of Crows

Beneath The Path of Crows

I was born on stolen land

But we still don't understand

There was thief that wore a crown

So you hid your treasures underground

And your songs still echo in these stones

And my bones will lay beside your bones

Shining water, Standing Pine

Stories told around your fire

Muddy River, Mountain High

Dance the moon into the sky, into the sky

Brought the sickness to this land

Tore your children from your hand

Took their tongue and cut their hair

Made them say a different prayer

And your songs still echo in these stones

And my bones will lay beside your bones

Shining water, Standing Pine

Stories told around your fire

Muddy River, Mountain High

Dance the moon into the sky, into the sky

(Forgiveness Chant in Mi'kmaq)

"We can find a way

To move forward together in harmony

If you acknowledge what you’ve done

We can build a new relationship of trust

One cannot move without the other

We need each other to forgive"

And we walk beneath the path of crows

And my bones will lay beside your bones

Shining water, Standing Pine

Stories told around your fire

Muddy River, Mountain High

Dance the moon into the sky, into the sky
