O Land
Ancestral place, motherland home
Flesh of creation, skin of my bones
Breath of my lungs, heartbeat of my chest
Water and blood of those long at rest
In a rush of the four winds I hear you come near
Without hesitation you meet with me here
Through path parting grasses you walk to my side
Open your arms, welcome your child
Oh land, land of my birth
Life giving land, life giving worth
You run through my veins, help me to stand
Oh Land, land of my birth
In quiet communion where time has no hold
I lift you my offering, you nourish my soul
Seed of tomorrow, life blood from the past
Take in the four winds the gift of my thanks
Oh land, land of my birth
Life giving land, life giving worth
You run through my veins, help me to stand
Oh Land, land of my birth
Kaki nokowi aski
Kischi nokawi aski nekik
Kakinow nechi inninewuk
Nekinan nitaskiminann Ke pimatisihinan
Ninanan ki chiwasimisuk Manitou
Kahnaweyniminan, nininaskomitinan
Manitou
Oh land, land of my birth
Life giving land, life giving worth
You run through my veins, help me to stand
Oh Land, land of my birth
Oh Land, Land of my birth
Ancestral place
Motherland home
Flesh of creation
Skin of my bones
Flesh of creation, skin of my bones
Breath of my lungs, heartbeat of my chest
Water and blood of those long at rest
In a rush of the four winds I hear you come near
Without hesitation you meet with me here
Through path parting grasses you walk to my side
Open your arms, welcome your child
Oh land, land of my birth
Life giving land, life giving worth
You run through my veins, help me to stand
Oh Land, land of my birth
In quiet communion where time has no hold
I lift you my offering, you nourish my soul
Seed of tomorrow, life blood from the past
Take in the four winds the gift of my thanks
Oh land, land of my birth
Life giving land, life giving worth
You run through my veins, help me to stand
Oh Land, land of my birth
Kaki nokowi aski
Kischi nokawi aski nekik
Kakinow nechi inninewuk
Nekinan nitaskiminann Ke pimatisihinan
Ninanan ki chiwasimisuk Manitou
Kahnaweyniminan, nininaskomitinan
Manitou
Oh land, land of my birth
Life giving land, life giving worth
You run through my veins, help me to stand
Oh Land, land of my birth
Oh Land, Land of my birth
Ancestral place
Motherland home
Flesh of creation
Skin of my bones
