Rise up hear the call
Our nation vast must leave this home
To travel far as been foretold
Here begins
The First Fire
Eight prophets showed that which will pass
All that’s been known to Elders past
Our purpose paved our Earth to save
Here begins
The First Fire
Our long journey ends
At the narrow river’s edge
Where sweet seas join
And food grows on the water
Sacred shell shall be our guide
Chosen land Turtle Isle
Where we’ll begin and where we’ll end
Here we light
The First Fire
Rise up hear the call
Rise up hear the call
Here we light
The First Fire
Of Seven Fires
Of Seven Fires

Lost
No direction
The megis trail has disappeared
Lost
No perception
Our purpose has become unclear
Lost
Split decision
Faith fades slowly to despair
Lost
Pose the question
To flames that dance into the air
Follow the stepping stones said he
Follow the stepping stones with me
Rivers have called to me in a dream
Follow the stepping stones to see
Seasons go by
Wait for the One to lead the way
Camped on the shore
Weaker with each passing day
Return to the path
Guided by old sacred ways
Cuts Like A Knife
The long, winding deep riverway

Follow the rivers flow
Follow the rivers flow
Follow the rivers flow
Follow the rivers flow
River knows the way to go
River’s gonna bring us home
Ancient is the rivers flow
Ancient is the rivers flow
Timeless as winds that blow
Her rhythm and rhyme our own
Journey with the rivers flow
Journey with the rivers flow
Guided by the undertow
River’s gonna steer us home
Trust in the river flow
Trust in the river flow
From isle to isle we row
To waters where food grows
Arise from the rivers flow
Arise from the rivers flow
The sacred shell will show
The land of our new home
We started at the rivers flow
We started at the rivers flow
Six hundred years ago
River will bring us home
Follow the rivers flow Follow the rivers flow
Follow the rivers flow Follow the rivers flow
Follow the rivers flow Follow the rivers flow
Follow the rivers flow Follow the rivers flow
River knows the way to go
River has brought us home

Two prophets told
Speaking both as one
Look for the light skinned
People fore to come
Friend or foe
Don’t trust don’t be fooled
Seek the face of brotherhood
Beware the face of doom
The first said I see
Two nations linked as one
Joined by two more
So mighty they become
United together
With knowledge they shall rule
Seek the face of brotherhood
Beware the face of doom
The second did warn
Both will look the same
One brings destruction
The other growth and change
The hand or the weapon
Heed which you choose
Seek the face of brotherhood
Beware the face of doom
I see waters diseased
Fish unfit to eat
Perilous greed
And suffering, suffering, suffering and grief
Two prophets told
Speaking both as one
Look for the lightskinned
People fore to come
Be they not the same
Yield until they prove
Seek the face of brotherhood
Beware the face of doom
Seek the face of brotherhood
Beware the face of doom

Black robes came
To barter and trade
Promised salvation
Follow their way
Isolate
Indoctrinate
Preaching the mission
The Word shall save
Black book gold cross
Foresaken song
Broken circle
Truth is lost
Planting seeds
Of lies deceit
Who pays the price of
Mistaken belief
Souls of our babes
And their babes to follow
Bearing the cost
Of promises made hollow
Short hair new name
Burdens of shame
Crucified culture
Our lands they claimed
Stolen young
And silent drum
Crippled Spirit
Buried tongue
Souls of our babes
And their babes to follow
Bearing the cost
Of promises made hollow
Souls of our babes
And their babes to follow
Bearing the cost
Of promises made hollow
Of promises made hollow

Prophets words unfolding
Earthly balance undone
Winds of peace moaning
Veil of darkness is drawn
The Cup of Life fills with grief
Fall in mournful sleep
The Cup of Life fills with grief
Sleep
Sacred scrolls waiting
Deep beneath Ironwood tree
Til a young boy’s dreaming
Breathes life to memories
The Cup of Life fills with grief
Fall in mournful sleep
The Cup of Life fills with grief
Sleep
The Cup of Life fills with grief
Fall in mournful sleep
The Cup of Life fills with grief
Sleep
Follow footprints leading
To words unread for centuries
Rise again singing
Songs of Anishinaabe

They traveled ‘cross the land
West on Turtle Isle
They traveled ‘cross the land
Sparked by the First Fire
Look for the sacred shells
As prophets did foretell
Stopping at the site where food
On the water fell
And the fire still burns
Yes the fire still burns
A shadow dark and long
Loomed across this blessed land
A shadow dark and long
Waived it’s venal hand
All that was known
Lay in ashes of betrayal
Pieces of their promises
Littered on the trail
And the fire still burns
Yes the fire still burns
And the sun will rise
And the winds will cry
And the sea will heal our tears
See the eagle soar
Hear the drumming roar
All gather and seek the circle
The Seventh Flame is nigh
Heed what has been lost
The Seventh Flame is nigh
Pay attention to the cost
Awaken the wisdom
As bitter rivers flow
Choose the path to unify
Return to what is known
And the fire still burns
Yes the fire still burns
And the sun will rise
And the winds will cry
And the sea will heal our tears

Still
Be still
To an open heart
The prophecy
Is fulfilled
In slumber all these years
We’re beckoning
Listen
Hear them sing
They celebrate
The joy of awakening
The ancient song has always been
Echoing on the wings
Of The Winds
Begin
Looking in
The power of
The healing lies within
The answer was and ever is
Riding on the wings
Of the winds
Of the winds
