    LYRICS
    Water Is Life - Mni Wičoni
    All my relations, come
    Every nation, come
    All my relations under the sun
    We are one
    We are praying, come
    We are praying, come
    We are the song and we are the drum
    We are one
    We are the river, come
    We are the river, come
    We are the boat, the paddle, the shore
    We are one
    Chorus:
    Mni wičoni, sing (Mitakuye Oyasin…)
    Mni wičoni, sing
    Mni wičoni, “water is life”
    for everything
    We are the water, sing
    We are the water, sing
    We are the water
    We are where all life begins
    We are the ancient ones
    We are the ancient ones
    In your breath and bones we sing on
    We are one
    We are the meadow, come
    We are the meadow, come
    We are the lark that sings
    the new day has begun
    We are the new day, run, run, run
    We are the new day, run, run, run
    We are the old and we are the young
    We are one
    Chorus
    We are the earth and sky
    We are the thunder cries
    We are the fire,
    We are the light in your eyes
    We are standing strong
    Like a rock, like a stone
    On this sacred ground we belong
    We are home
    Chorus
    All my relations, come
    Every nation, come
    All my relations under the sun
    We are one

    Three years later and Mother Earth is still crying out Mni Wiconi! We are one, indeed! Thank you for this beautiful tribute! I remember crying without consolation, as I watched the horrors unfold during the most devastating battle against the peaceful water protectors! May God, and all of His Creation, stand with the warriors who bravely protect the only planet we have!

    My tears won't stop this morning here on the west coast of Canada, Quw'utsun' territory, as the Water Protectors prepare to take the newest "Longest Walk" and Stand for the Water at Oceti. A group of precious Grandmothers and women sang this beautiful Sara Thomsen song at our fundraiser for Standing Rock in November. I Pray I Pray I Pray

    Tears are my prayers of deep gratitude. Thank you Water Protectors for showing me grace and integrity in the face of fear, strength and clarity in the face of anger and confusion, and love and humility in the face of the great mystery of it all. May your message of No Spiritual Surrender be forever branded in our hearts and minds. May you be safe today and always.

    This trail of tears beneath my feet has become a river.
    Hold me and we will be the bridge...
    The healing way for our children to cross from these days of woe into the promised land of our joy.

      @Quincy Breed That water is life... that water is most important... that we are blessed to have water in our tapes when we turn them on...
      We are blessed... and so many people take this for granted
      that we must protect the water..... for without water.. there is no life

    • @kennewicksheri
      @kennewicksheri 4 роки тому +1

      @Quincy Breed yet ... water ... the basic for life...... the very essence... water and air..
      And the need to keep them pure

      @Quincy Breed hmm on the top of my head.. Flint Michigan.. and each time they threaten to drill near an underground water aquifer .. once that water is contaminated... then what ?

    Numbers 20:8 8Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink.
    9And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him.10And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock? 11And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also. 12And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them. 13This is the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them.
