Ancestors

(Words and Music by Jan Garrett & Melinda Wood Allen

Sky above, earth below Fire within me, this I know

Wind and water, sand and time Live and breathe, and beat this heart of mine

Live and breathe, and beat this heart of mine

The stones beneath our feet hold the memories

The stars light the way through the dark

The greening of the leaves, the stirring of the breeze  The river’s song reminds us who we are

Sky above, earth below Fire within me, this I know

Wind and water, sand and time

Live and breathe, and beat this heart of mine

Live and breathe, and beat this heart of mine

Can we walk the city’s canyons when the moon is on the rise

Can we let our native kindness shine through

Will we recognize the stranger, see the light behind the eyes

Let the beauty of our hearts be what we do

Angels and Ancestors are watching over me

We’re a chain of survivors, breaking free

I call on those who’ve come before and those who’ve yet to be

And I believe that they believe in me

Sky above, earth below Fire within me, this I know

Wind and water, sand and time

Live and breathe, and beat this heart of mine

Live and breathe, and beat this heart of mine Live and breathe…..
