On a rainy day in Austin, Texas, here's a song that remembers and respects the truth: Water is life. This song celebrates the water protectors of the sky, sea, land, and all nations. Everyone benefits when we take care of our water, along with our other natural resources too. Taking care of our nature is taking care of ourselves, and each other, honoring the water bearers we all are.
The animals come from the sky
Hummingbird heron butterfly
Swimming swans
Gracing the water
Up where the eagles reach
Higher than the mountain peaks
Breezing through clouds
Blessing the water
The animals come from the sea
Salmon marlin beaver otter
Great blue whales
Gracing the water
Down where the dolphins rise
From the darkness to the daylight
Blasting through waves
Blessing the water
The animals come from the land
Buffalo turtle mountain lion
A doe and her fawn
Gracing the water
Out where the lone wolf howls
Crying out loud hallelu
Braving a blizzard
Blessing the water
The animals come from all nations
Red yellow black white four directions
Little children
Gracing the waters
Out where the warriors stand
Peaceful prayerful hand-in-hand
Being in ceremony
Blessing the water
