Sung repeat after me style, or together.

I hear the voices of my ancestors calling me
They say wake up, wake up
Listen listen
May the rivers all run free
May the mountains go unspoiled
May the air be pure
May the trees grow tall
May the earth be shared by all.

Ancestor Song

Burn, fire burn
Stoke your inner fire
Let the coal inside you rise
Blow that flame to life

Burn, Fire, Burn

Sung alone or in tangent to Land of the Silver Birch

My paddle's clean (or keen) and bright
Flashing with (or like) silver
Follow the wild goose flight
Dip dip and swing

Canoe Song

Land of the silver birch
Home of the beaver
Where the mighty moose
Wanders at will
Blue lake and rocky shore
I will return once more
Boom didiada, boom didiada bo-o-om

Wood, stone, feather and bone
Roaring of the ocean guide us home
Wood, stone, feather and bone
Roaring of the ocean guide us home

Howling of the wind gonna set us free
Earth, sea, cedar tree
Howling of the wind gonna set us free
Eagle and salmon in my soul, in my soul

Wood, Stone, Feather And Bone

Land of the Silver Birch with a harmony above and below. Low harmony is panned all the way to the right so you can pan or listen just to that ear of the headphone to hear it almost by itself. Higher harmony is on the left.

Land Of The Silver Birch (Extended Version)

If the people live their lives
As if it were a song for singing out at night
Providing music for the stars 
To be dancing circles in the night

If The People

I sing to the wind and the wind whispers
I dance to the fire and the fire cracks
I cry to the ocean and the waves echo
I drum to the earth and the earth drums back
I drum to the earth and the earth drums back

Earth Drums Back

forget your perfect offering
just sing the song that you can sing
there is a crack in everything
that's how 
the light
gets in
that's how the light gets in

Forget Your Perfect Offering

sometimes in life we make turns without knowing
the direction we're going it happens all the time
true north
true north
east as the sunrise
south as the summer skies
west where the sun hides
north where the crow flies
sky above and earth below
the compass lies within 
the compass lies within...
