Final Group Exam - Cayuga Music Class

This is not one of our favourite songs to sing after learning it but I thought I could at least share it :P

we got to humble ourselves in the eyes of our creator
we bend down low
we got to humble ourselves in the eyes of our creator
we got to know what she knows 

we can raise each other up 
higher and higher
we can raise each other up 

we got to humble ourselves in the eyes of our Mishomis
we bend down low
we got to humble ourselves in the eyes of our Mishomis
we got to know what he knows 

we can raise each other up 
higher and higher
we can raise each other up 

we got to humble ourselves in the eyes of our Nookamis
we bend down low
we got to humble ourselves in the eyes of our Nookamis
we got to know what she knows 

we can raise each other up 
higher and higher
we can raise each other up 

we got to humble ourselves in the eyes of our children
we bend down low
we got to humble ourselves in the eyes of our children
we got to know what they knows 

we can raise each other up 
higher and higher
we can raise each other up 

we got to humble ourselves in the eyes of one another
we bend down low
we got to humble ourselves in the eyes of one another
we got to know what we know 

we can raise each other up 
higher and higher
we can raise each other up 

higher and higher we can raise each other up

Four Directions Song

Haida Lullabye

My Hunny gets down, good lord
My man is dancing all over town
Strictly Nish, he don’t play around
Dancin on the grounds, wearin beads by the pound
Getting braids is the forte, each and every day, true Native way
Can’t get him out of my mind
Think about my Boy all the time

No Diggity! REMIX
