Grandmother Song (I hear the voice)

(original) I hear the voice of my grandmother calling me (x2) Wake up, wake up, she says wake up, wake up Listen listen, Listen listen May the waters all run clear may the mountains be unspoiled May the air be clean may the trees grow tall may the earth be shared by all (descant) I've been here a long, long time before the dawn of human kind I'll still be here when you are gone my spirit moving strong I've seen great peoples come and go as each one of us must I've heard their song that each one passed their glories turn to dust some forget from where they came from where they draw their life the same spirit moving in your heart moves all the stars at night the spirit moves beneath the waves and soars up in the sky it moves through all the life on earth all equal in my eyes so hear my words I'm telling you I'm calling out to you choose with care all that I give respect what you might use for someday you too will be gone a leaf falls from the tree the life you lived upon this earth will be your legacy
