LYRICS

JACKY
Back then people were connected
Now we ignore how much we really got aﬀected

ALISA
our people out here drinking so called “treasure”
While we’re out here slowly losing our culture

(let’s be careful with our culture the way people are living is getting worse)

JOHNNY
No I’m not cutting myself and I’m good at hiding my scars
Hiding in your smile, I can tell, looking at the high stars, looking like I try hard
Making all this money, it’s a little funny
I guess you were right, this was never my fight

ALISA & BROOKE
People are keeping our kids from speaking our mother tongue
It’s so hard connecting with nature when the summer come

BROOKE

PATSAUQ
follow your heart follow your dreams
Look inside your soul & live your life with no regrets
Everyday keep moving, even when this life is hard
It’s okay to make mistakes, just get back up when falling far

(Do you remember when you were small, when you played with your friends, you would go everywhere, do you remember the cold Winter, when you could get frostbitten, when there was blowing snow, we weren’t worried to go play in any kind of weather, we wanted to go hunting, so we pretended to go hunting, our toy boats, toy guns, toy nets, different toys that I used all the time)
