about

A song about ancestry, mentioning how it can be worth facing disruptive patterns handed along the blood lines, but mostly focusing on all the skills, insights & strengths we inherit as part of our family legacy...for we stand upon the shoulders of giants!

lyrics

Car on as changée ce que on peut de ce qui restait chez nous
péchés de nos pères
Oui, nous avons réussis de guérir
la douleur de nos mères
Et j'aimerais bien de continuer le bon travail qu'ils ont fait
en leur temps

Guidez nous jusqu'à ce jour, je sais que parfois vous me voyez
et me protégez
Je rends hommage à tous qui changent les façons violentes
pour les guérir
un jour
Pour nous héritons des dons de sang, la culture de nos ancêtres
pour augmenter

For we have come some way I know the good we re passing on will stay
so many folks are cleaning up for it to stop to trip us up
with healers hand we can reveal yes we have come some way to heal
the pain of our mothers and the sins of our fathers
And I would like to carry on the good work I know they have done
it wouldn`t always have been fun but still they`ve always carried on
and even back in grannies days some light was all along their way
yes even back in granddads days a light was there to guide their way

So please guide us until this day, I know at times you look my way
protect me any way you can while I grow into my own man
I honor all who choose to change the hurtful ways so they may mend
the battle scars of history and learn to live in harmony
For we inherit gifts of blood, the skills of our families
the spirit of our ancestors to use to build a global peace
