We Are Cree 

 
We Are Cree

I. 
I wonder how my ancestors
Ever did survive
The cold and endless prejudice
Of their simple way of life

Medicine wheel turn round and round
Great Spirit come with a marvellous sound

II.
Energy and life forces 
Live within the trees
When moko calls my sacred name
To my fathers memory

Dream catcher spin and give  me a dream
Sweat out my sin and dishonesty

Chorus:

We are Cree / Anishnabe nei nah n
Children of the Sun
Ah wah shish uk pe seim
We see the world as one

III. 
If I was a warrior
When meis tei koshoow came
My arrows would be messengers
Like thunder God and rain

Mah nei to nei mei ow
Mah nei to nei ka mo

IV.
In this circle I will stand
In this circle I will pray
For my medicine is strong
Like the people of the Bay

Answer feather come answer me
Dream Song sing my destiny

Chorus............................
