Naʔamits qwiyatmitiis haʔin čiʔat
I heard something calling me
tikpitʔatmitsa unuƛ ʔin ƛawakḥmitsa naʔa
I got up/sat up because I wanted to hear/listen closer
hatqwispiʔatsa čumił akqs
I rolled out of my bed
ʔučkułmitʔiš hupał, sayasaʔiš hupał
there is fog in the face of the moon, the far away moon
ʔaqaq matakḥ wawaʔaqƛatsa
I wonder what this is
qwayatuk̓ ʔukqʔaḥʔa nuuk
is this how your song sounds?
Chorus (sounds)
ʔiqḥukʔaƛac̓a ʔantupkak
I was told it was black
tumaqƛ uḥʔiš qwisḥin qwac̓amisʔi
dark and different mystery/thing that I don̓t know what it is
qwac̓amisʔi – something that needs to be done
tuḥuk̓apats nukwatukʔi
I get a spooky alive feeling inside from the melody
sayačakḥšiƛs natsa maḥsa qwikʔiitq hiintšiƛ
I head further up because I want to see what is coming
qwayatuk̓ ʔukqʔaḥʔa nuuk?
Is this how your song sounds?
čuu ʔahʔaʔałs ʔuʔumḥi nacičiƛqus qwis witas itq
OK, I̓̓m ready to see what will happen

spirit of the alder grove
shooting star you come to earth
moving in good ways now
saasin ( hummingbird ) in a dive bomb world, ha-a ( yes )
we rebelz with our work take aim
we lifting this high my friend
̓cause we shooting for the sky
like Orion, gotta get it up high
we're rooted with the ground but
two feet can zip around
we run around on this earth then we
stand still and feel what's in our hearts, our hearts
and you're feeling like you oh so ready
̓cause you were born and then made ready
made by same power sent a river through the trees
made a nation say “geez I just love you!”
this our home here in the elements
this forest this tree elegance
aunties and uncles getting teachings on a forest bench,
nawayasim, nawayasim!
so strong we stand in a logging road
so tuned in I feel the heat of her molten lava core
I feel it warming my chest
I feel it boiling in my chest
oh yes
Nobody ever knew of that love inside
before she came along, before he came along
and placed you in creation song
gratitude for existence
love so big it shines with the star who warms us
lift a handful of ocean, throw it up to the heavens
watch it sprinkle down
the magic of pat-ha-chisht
and magic glowing bioluminescence
It's the essence of chiḥa ( supernatural being )
the blessing of this life
reaching for the sky
reach for the sky caḥ ( little dead one, an endearment )
(a few x)
Nobody never said you wouldn̓t be somebody
somebody always said you have to be somebody
somebody somewhere said you might be a nobody
deadman hollered at him Nobody Nobody!
and its everyones̓ business
how you can̓t resist this
and it nobody̓s time to go before it̓s there actual time to go
way to state the obvious
live here now and in this moment's grace
I'm rambler livin̓ with my land
here to love this and make that
continuum of magic in Naas ( day god reality )
"nisma" is the land
we have love for homeland
and gratitude for life
