Farewell, now, my sister
Up ahead there lies your road
And your conscience walks beside you
It's the best friend you'll ever knowAnd the past is now your future
It bears witness to your soul
Make sure that the love you offer up
Does not fall on barren soilFor the wind cries of late
In the whispering grass
Our way of life is held
In the spinning wheels of chanceI believe in a way of long ago
And the sounds I believe rose our glow
And we're changing our waysYes, we are taking on different roads
Tell me more about the forest
That you once called homeFor the wind cries of late
In the whispering leaves
And the sun will turn to waste
The heavens we build aboveFather, teach your children
To treat our mother well
If we give her back her diamonds
She will offer up her pearlWe must sing her creation song
Jeune du monde
Invoke the spirits that feed us
This dreaming takes too longBut I'm not bitter, no, I'm surviving
To face the world, to raise the future
So why don't you tell me, come on and tell me
About the world you left behind
Can you tell me?
