Native Ground

Verse 1

From the hills where the long grass bends

To the shore where the salt wind sings

Every voice a thread of light

Woven through the morning's ring

Pre-Chorus

Gather now the scattered sparks

Bring the ember to the [Chorus]

One fire burns for every hand

One drum beats in every land

Now lay the old divisions down

Rise as one from native ground Oh-oh-oh oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh oh-oh [Verse 2]

Grandfather speaks in ancient words

Mother's song puts them in verse

to the rhythm of the earth

Their wisdom carries us along [Pre-Chorus]

Lay your burdens at the gate

Take my hand before it's late

Chorus

One fire burns for every hand

One drum that beats for every land

We lay the old divisions down

Rise as one from native ground

Bridge

Tribe to tribe the summons goes

River to river the blessing flows

Brother sister mother friend

Every journey finds its end

In the circle we become

Every heart a beating sun

Chorus

One fire burns for every hand

One drum that beats for every land

We lay the old divisions down

Rise as one from native ground

Drop

Oh-oh-oh oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh oh-oh
