SONG LYRICS

Geronimo Once said, we are the one
Life was once understood
My grandpa once said he would be watching
And they’ll pray for our future

Chorus- Yee naa gho k’it gwee nyaa (Things will be good again, like in our history)

Solo

Ghaa kwaii is our chief and his legend will live forever
All you Natives know your tongue
And your spirit will live forever

Chorus

All along the Yukon river, live a proud Indian nation
We been here thousands of years
Our Fathers are here forever
