VNITI - Ancestors Lyrics

Days like these, I feel like talking to the ancient breeze
My feet are walking to the nature beats, sacred feeling of peace

Freedom rings not from the capitals of nation states
But in the valleys and caves it waits, patient days at home
But in these days it fades, crazy pace has come

My ancestors, older sisters
Wiser brothers, come to bless us
Bring us messages from above us
Come to sing and dance all around us
My ancestors, I feel your spirit
In the rivers and winds I hear it
In the feathers and ferns I feel it
In the meadows and birds appearing, oh

In a mental cage, I need a medicine to be released
I need a catalyst to be my strength, feed my legs and bones
Everything's okay when I'm surrounded by leaves and twigs
And I am grounded by the roots and sticks who can fix my soul
And in the blues and grays, cooling waters and stones

My ancestors, older sisters
Wiser brothers, come to bless us
Bring us messages from above us
Come to sing and dance all around us
My ancestors, I feel your spirit
In the rivers and winds I hear it
In the feathers and ferns I feel it
In the meadows and birds appearing, oh

I felt the prison of the desert and I rose above it
I felt the center of a blizzard and I grew to love it
I heard a symphony of insects in the forest, an invisible chorus
And we're protected by the ones that go before us
Choosing our direction through the methods that they show us
They're our connection from the wealthy to the poorest
I know they're fighting for us

My ancestors, older sisters
Wiser brothers, come to bless us
Bring us messages from above us
Come to sing and dance all around us
My ancestors, I feel your spirit
In the rivers and winds I hear it
In the feathers and ferns I feel it
In the meadows and birds appearing, oh
