lyrics

1) I hear the voice of my grandmother calling me.
I hear the voice of my grandmother call.
She says, “Wake up, wake up children
Wake up, wake up.
Listen, Listen . . .Listen, listen.”

2) I hear the voice of my grandmother calling me.
I hear the voice of my grandmother call.
She says, “Give birth, give life mother
Give birth, give life.
Listen, listen . . . Listen, listen.”

3) I hear the voice of my grandmother calling me.
I hear the voice of my grandmother call.
She says, “Stand in your power, people,
Stand in your power.
Listen, listen . . .Listen, listen.”

Chorus, after each verse:
May the rivers all run wild.
May the mountains go unspoiled.
May the air be clean,
May the trees grow tall.
May there be love for every mother and child.
May there be love for every woman and man.
May there be love -- for every being in the wild.

Tag:
I hear the voice of my grandmother calling me.
Listen, listen . . .Listen, listen.
