[Original lyrics by Gary Hewitt. Inspired in part by the story of the Thunderbird and Indigenous stories, but this is an original work and not a traditional song.]

Brrrwee yip yip bhadu, Brrrwee yip yip bhadu

Brrrwee yip yip bhadu, Brrrwee yip yip bhadu

Brrrwee yip yip bhadu, Brrrwee yip yip bhadu

You are the bringer of rain

You are the bringer of storms

You seek clarity

When all is reborn

Stretch your wings

To cover the sky

You grant me vision

And never deny

Chorus

Thun-der my soul

Thun-der overhead

Thun-der through my vision

See where my people fled

Thun-der between my eyes

Thun-der through the battles

When all is lost

You thunder and praise.

My heart pounds and rattles

Brrrwee yip yip bhadu, Brrrwee yip yip bhadu

Brrrwee yip yip bhadu, Brrrwee yip yip bhadu

Brrrwee yip yip bhadu, Brrrwee yip yip bhadu

Verse

When you went underworld

For our saving grace

You fought bravely

And returned high with praise

Bring us justice

Bring us the law

Bring us the way forward

Thunderbird for evermore.

Chorus

Thun-der my soul

Thun-der overhead

Thun-der through my vision

As our people are fed

Thun-der between my eyes

Thun-der through the battles

When all is lost

You thunder and praise.

My heart pounds and rattles

Brrrwee yip yip bhadu, Brrrwee yip yip bhadu

Brrrwee yip yip bhadu, Brrrwee yip yip bhadu

Brrrwee yip yip bhadu, Brrrwee yip yip bhadu

Outro

Peace brother

Carry us with you

Higher than the mountains

High amongst the skies.

Brrrwee yip yip bhadu, Brrrwee yip yip bhadu

Brrrwee yip yip bhadu, Brrrwee yip yip bhadu

Brrrwee yip yip bhadu, Brrrwee yip yip bhadu

Brrrwee yip yip bhadu, Brrrwee yip yip bhadu

Brrrwee yip yip bhadu, Brrrwee yip yip bhadu

Brrrwee yip yip bhadu, Brrrwee yip yip bhadu
