CELEBRATE THE STORM

Verse 1 – Luka Lesson
This is for my people who celebrate the storm
Cross borders and ignore 
Whenever they are warned

This is for my people who climb up the mountains
Never caught lounging
Who light up their lanterns

This is for my people who have fought and won
For the fallen ones
And for those who have just begun

This is for journeyers 
Pilgrims on the path
Forgetting the past 
Finding diamonds in the dark

Chorus
You don’t know when you will die
So celebrate tonight
You don’t know when light will dawn
So celebrate the storm

Verse 2 – Nahko Bear

This is for my people who are lying in their graves
This for my people who were buried there today
This is for the wolf clan 
Bear clan
Sand man
Wing Nation
Every beautiful relation
This is for the gatekeepers
Guardians and Angels
Displaced
Culturally appropriated people
This is for the old growth
Fresh-water rivers
Thunder bring us light 
To bring us closer to the spirit

Verse 3 - Luka
This is for the kids who can't even write a sentence
But police still try to get sentenced

This is for the poets and writers
Those that inspire us
Warriors of the mind
Fighting between the lines

This is for those who know the truth in their hearts
And believe it even when the world tears it apart

This is for the migrants who come in on the tides
The stars that inspire them
To leave their lives behind them

This is for the citizens
First Nations Indigenous
My respect for you is just limitless

This is for critics who said I shouldn’t dream
I know you only hate me cause you know you can’t believe

This is for the party people
Friday night relief
For the DJs who play it loud
Just to bring us peace

This is for my people who dance to this rhythm
Just to get the energy to fight the system

Chorus
