Heya, heya, heya
Heya, heya, heya
You will be my journey
And I will find my way
To the purest sunsets
The land, the trees, the bay
Once I finally get there
I won't forget to breathe
Knowing you're my river
Live your legacy
Walk on snow, yeah we walk on ice
The wind will blow when the timing's right
Duh duh duh duh
Carry the drums through the darkest night
Keep our land, don't lose that fight
Squeeze your hands and use that might
Duh duh duh duh
Carry the drums til the morning light
You could be my legend
And I could tell your tale
You give me the current
And I will always sail
To you I make this promise
Our land we'll fight to keep
Cause we are all nishiiyuu
Nishiiyuu and me
Remember where you from
Stay connected to your roots
Oh whap, oh whap, oh whap
Always do what you love
And you'll never be the fool
Oh whap, oh whap, oh whap
Keep heading to the sun
Light the world with what you do
Oh whap, oh whap, oh whap
Carry on the drums
Play the rhythm of the truth
Oh whap, oh whap, oh whap
I'm retracing your steps as you sharing stories
I'm living in your future, you prepared it for me
You gotta know your past to represent your heritage
The eeyou istchee, let's tell these people where you live
Ashkw wash ashkw wash nii in chishchaytan
In tan ka iish itshkuutimashuuyan
Muk tan, muk tan ka iish nitshkiman
A tik'ch in taych in tan cha iishpimshkuushiiyan
You could be my legend
And I could tell your tale
You give me the current
And I will always sail
To you I make this promise
Our land we'll fight to keep
Cause we are all Nishiiyuu
Nishiiyuu and me
The light we set for others
Will help them understand
A history to discover
Don't let them take a glance
It's in your skin, it's in your hands
It's in your eyes, it's in your past
It's in your blood, it's in your soul
It's in your heart, don't let it go
You could be my legend
And I could tell your tale
You give me the current
And I will always sail
To you I make this promise
Our land we'll fight to keep
'Cause we are all Nishiiyuu
Nishiiyuu and me
