Great Mother Earth (Heyana Part 1)

This song is a my tribute to the Native Americans and culture that I was called to bring forward, It is my hymn to mother earth, but it also as the song goes along has a deep message for today's world and standing up for our rights and our truth.  

Today we are also in a time where we must not let the corrupted and greedy take over the rights of the people and the land!!  
There are over 20 takes for this song some have alternative lyrics that I will be going through! this is take 17 and a rough mix of the song.


(VERSE)
Take a different path
And Walk with me 
through the lands of the evergreen
into the wild
Where the mind is clear 
and the soul alive
Delight (rejoice) in simple things, nature provides

Know where we headed
and we know just where were found
Living oh so simply on sacred ground
Ain't got no heavy load 
That the mother don't know
The stars 

(SHORT CHORUS)
I know I know, you will find me
Where the rivers run deep 

And my soul is yearning (finnaly free)
to return 
to the land
Where the light does shine
 
(VERSE2) (SOFTER) 
Iv'e been Chasing dreams, all this life
Become someone else to be adored and be seen
Foled by temptations and illusions around
Indulged in all sweet things that modern world brings

But I remember joyous days where we laughed and we sang
Where We listened to to the wise ones and what they had to say
This land was beautiful and the air was clear
Before the they came 
with their poison games 

(CHORUS)
Ooooooooooooo. Oooo oooo ooooo oooo 
I feel the calling 
Winds are howling strong
Oooooooooooooooooooo oooo oooo 

What if we are the ones we are waiting for 
The prophecy speaks of 
so clearly and profound

And that the time has come for us to finnaly rise 
A people of nations 
born 
of rainbow light 

Heya heyana
Heya heyana
Your love will always be a better part of me 
Heya heyana
Heya heyanaaaaaaa
Your love will bring a message from afar

Though healing the heart
The memmories come flooding back
of a the past, and of my kin and all the loves of my lives
I still remember the day earth stood still 
And we came together
And on that day the 
earth 
stood 
still 

(Animal sounds)


(VERSE 2) 

And we lived in a very simple way 

(SOLO & CHIOR)

Out of the labarynth I walk away 
To find the true souls who still live on this day
Who remember the world before the others came 
With the poison tricks that they played 


(CHORUS)
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Feel a storm is brewing, all across this land (high)
I can't hold on now, none of us can
Feel winds of changing are coming in fast
Oh tell me now ....why sky is falling down
What is it that we have done. ? 

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Said the fires are burning 
And the earth rumbling 
By Those search for gold 
Who are hungry for power 
With the noise of machines
Comming from afar
Trying to chop down this land
All Led by the wicked and the blind ? 

Still the Sun goes down, oh the Sun goes down
What have I done this day ? 
 
Heya heyana
Heya heyana
Heya heyana
Heya heyana
Stand in your your light, stength of power
Your smile will always be a better part of me
Heya heyana
Heya heyana
If your ready to rise then take my hand
Your love will always be eternally
I feel the earth calling me



(CHORUS BRIDGE)

Through the darkness and into the storm
I said im ready to find another way (to surrender)
This is not the way I thought that(wanted) things would go
But I will live my life with truth inside
And I fire 🔥 in my soul (till my dying day) 

 
(CHORUS 3)
Have we taken enough ? are we full enough yet ? 
While heart of man is crying out love
Weve got to decide what path to take 

And i still remember the day my people were still 
(QUIET)
With not a sound to be heard 

(NATIVE)
(SOLO) 

Great mother earth
.
I dont think I
can live a lie 

So Take me home
Back to greeeeeat the river of life   ...........

(VERSE)
Sunrise, after darkened days 
I believe, I believe we've got too many fears these days 
New dawn come and shine your light on us 
For the seasons have to change
I know that nothing has to stay the same
No more
I've been waiting so loo00ng 
(to finally live)
to to feel your warm sun rays

(Bridge) 
Hold on, when your faith in life is gone
You will have your sunshine day, there will be anotherway
Hold on, when you feel the light has gone
There will be another way

(D chord section)  (Synth in stereo) 
And Through all this pain, i said you'll rise again
And see the truth you been seeking for a long long time
For all your losses and all your woes
There Will be 10,000 angels waiting by your side
all you've won, will be yours to have and is seen by the light of God 
(All I know now is god has seen the light in you)
 The storm is over 
 
(CHORUS)
It's gonna be a bright and beautiful day
It's gonna be a bright and beautiful day
Its gonna be bright and beautiful 
Bright and beautiful is the way of the human soul 


(VERSE2) 

Sunrise, after darkened days
I said... Freeedom, after imprisoned days

Ooooooh, New dawn,  free the heart and soul of man

For the seasons have to change
And I know NOTHING has to stay the same 

(BRIDGE)
SOLO

Hold on when your faith in life has gone
You will have your sunshine day, there will always be another way
Hold on when you feel the light is gone 
Sun is always sweeter after winter days
Yeah
Hold on if your flame for life is gone, gone gone gone
There will be another way

(D chord section) 
Yeah, hear what I say
That all lost souls will eventually come home
Let the mother cradle you in the grace of her arms (I got to tell you now)
And for those who wonder feeling lost out in the cold there will be a (STOPS) shelter from the storm
For those who were wrongly accused 
I said now ...Justice will prevail 
You'll have your glory day. 

I believe the storm is over now
God has seen the light in you 

(CHORUS)
It's gonna be a bright and beautiful life
It's gonna be a bright and beautiful life
It's gonna be bright and beautiful

This Is Love (Crowdfunding preview)

Heyana is a hymn to Mother Earth and An anthem of musical prophecy for our times, this visionary song is themed around the wisdom of the indigenous people of the earth, with their simple ways of living and deep understanding that we must respect mother nature. The lyrics contain messages that hold resonance worldwide for the people of today in 2023. 

PROGland “Heyana”, by Riki Buckingham, manages to bring together in a calm melody a weight and presence in the right balance between soft and imposing with an important message. With beautiful acoustic and guitar lines, the song, an alternative folk anthem, is an ode to good taste. From the beautiful vocal performances to the exceptional lyrics and the musical construction of the choruses and instrumental, “Hayena” sounds like an epic song, imposing and with weight, although without any guitar distortion. The song is definitely beautiful, with a melodic meaning that takes the listener to a sensitive, beautiful, and particular world, with each note played. Without a doubt, a must for fans of any type of good music, but especially those who are not afraid to be authentic and true no matter who it hurts
