In the Anthropocene (Elder Brother Says)

Lyrics

[Intro] Hey yeah yeah, yeah yeah hey Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah [Chorus] In the Anthropocene What does your freedom mean? What does your freedom mean? In the Anthropocene [Verse 1] All along the water Underneath the sea Can you hear the thousand mile melody? Coming from a distant whale Calling from afar Calling through the ocean channel, sayin', sayin' Can you hear me? Hear me? Can you hear me? Hear mе? [Chorus] Hey yeah yeah, yеah yeah hey In the Anthropocene In the Anthropocene What does your freedom mean? In the Anthropocene [Verse 2] Stumbling through my dreams Sailing on the skies The voices of future beings Remind me to feel Remind me to feel Remind me, laugh and cry The voices of future grandchildren I hear them askin' What were you doing? What have you done? What were you doing? What have you done? What were you doing? What have you done? What were you doing? What have you done? And are you alive? And are you free? Are you free? Are you free? [Chorus] Hey yeah yeah, yeah yeah hey In the Anthropocene In the Anthropocene What does your freedom mean? What does your freedom mean? In the Anthropocene [Bridge] And the Ai Ni come back And the Sehwa come back And the Aya come back And the knowledge come back And the dances come back And the sweet grass come back And the rivers come back And the laughter come back And the medicines come back And the stories come back And the oceans come back And the power come back And the prayers come back And the coral come back And the soil come back And the tenderness come back [Verse 3] Elder brother says we must remember the old ways The dreaming of the land And the calling of the rain We are life itself Remembering our way We are life itself The dreaming of the sea And we still have time We still have some time Yes, we still have time We still have some time [Chorus] Hey yeah yeah, yeah yeah hey In the Anthropocene In the Anthropocene What does your freedom mean? What does your freedom mean? In the Anthropocene In the Anthropocene In the Anthropocene
