Sisters, we, your brothers, hear your stories down river
as your tears touch this river and become an opening to joy
the water rises with your spirit
as you overcome these challenges and heal,
the water rises with your strength
the waters continue as we grow together
we sing a rhythm as your stories flow to the sea
Juwayako
Hands in the mossy soil. listening to the roots,
I hear you ancestors. I hear you.
