Listen

Calling out,
From Red Earth,
Blue Skies,
Can you hear?

From the heart,
From stories in our souls,
Calling out,
Hear us.

Stories of Rabbit,
Stories of Fox,
Of family and,
The peoples.

Can you hear,
The message in our hearts,
Calling out,
Do you hear?

From blue skies,
And red earth,
Hear us,
Calling out.

Stories of Ancestors,
Stories of the earth,
Of the people,
And others.

Stories in our souls,
From long ago,
Of red earth
And blue skies.

From our hearts,
Calling out,
From our souls,
Calling out.

Can you hear us?
