Sprouting seedling
Deep rooted and day dreaming
Through the crow's eyes
I see through the disguise
as this day fades into evening.
Indigestible persistence
Stand up to make a difference
Enchanted by the blood
of my ancestors resistance.
I pay homage as I gain
thankful for the knowledge
flowing freely through my veins
I hold the deepest respect
for this land I will protect
I am Haudenosaunee
born wild and free
and this way I shall remain.

I can still hear my grandfather's words;
The forest will provide.
The forest
will provide.
Should your mind ever fall ill
from this modern world of cheap thrills
The forest will provide.
Should you ever long for something real
Tired eyes from all this concrete and steel
The forest will provide.
Should you find yourself cold and lost in search
of the days of old, living one with the Earth
The forest will provide.
It is in your blood to survive
To live free from this world of nine to five
The forest will provide.
