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
