[Verse]
G#              D#             Fm
Gate of the north, Onondaga
C#
I was alone, I knew the names of my loves
G#                                     D#                                     Fm
Four legged and wings, mycelium, branches, and fins
C#
under the ocean, totems of what we would call God
G#                                     D#                                   Fm
the Creator who just happens to be neighbors with the law
C#
of nature, she’s a painter after all
G#                                                                                               D#
When the mountains knew our names and the rivers sang our songs
Fm                                                                         C#
as they crashed into the ocean where the whales would sing along
G#
We’re the people of the salmon
D#
We’re the people of the rice
Fm
We’re the people of the kalo
C#
and this is our life

[Pre-Chorus]
D#                         Fm             C#
I will be there when the work is done
D#             Fm                                     C#
What I leave for my grandchildren

[Chorus]
G#                         D#
Honor the Earth
Fm
the Mother comes first
C#
Live in a good way for her

[Verse]
G#             D#             Fm
Gate of the west, the Salish Sea
C#
The planet was warming by a couple degrees
G#                         D#                                     Fm
From cedar and stone our actual origins unknown
C#
looking for answers in triangular lights in the sky
G#                                                 D#
No bees were buzzing they were struggling to survive
Fm
the data showed the shift in poles
C#
back when the coral was alive
G#
We’re the people of the water
D#
We’re the people of the maize
Fm
We’re the people from the stars
C#
and the keepers of the old ways

[Pre-Chorus]
D#                         Fm             C#
I will be there when the work is done
D#             Fm                         C#
What I leave for my grandchildren

[Chorus]
G#             D#
Honor the Earth
Fm
the Mother comes first
C#
Live in a good way for her
