I.

I have been searching for a place to call my home
Ever since I was a young boy
I felt lost and all alone
Like a piece of me was missing
So I journeyed to this place
Where the boreal forest and the river sets the pace

Chorus:

Pe tah gae has brought us here
For the homecoming of our people
In the millennium year
From all across this country
From far and wide
We are home, we are one
In Native pride

II.

Let us forge a new beginning
But not forget our past
For the elders are our treasures
Lift them up and hold them fast
We are here to meet our brothers
Our sisters and our friends
Let us sing in celebration
Let our spirits soar again

Bridge:

And when the moon is laughing
And Mother Earth has all our gifts
We shall leave here with new memories
So many reasons to live
And when the Great Creator has touched you here today
May you always remember
Pe Tah Gae
