06. All My Relations
C 1998 Flower Seed
Laurie Story Vela
CHORUS:
All my relations, all my relations,
all my relations are here with me.
All my relations, all my relations,
all my relations are here with me.
People of the past, people here and now,
people yet to come are here with me.
The young and the old, the weak and the bold,
all their stories told are here with me.
CHORUS
The mountains standing high, the blue of the sky,
the winged ones who fly are here with me.
The ground I'm standing on, the waterfall's song,
the pines tall and long are here with me.
CHORUS
All my flower friends, their petals and their stems,
the sweet smells of them are here with me.
Big granite rocks, loud bluejay squawks,
flight of redtail hawks are here with me.
CHORUS
The germs of disease, the roaches and the fleas,
mosquitos and the bees are here with me.
Hurricanes and floods, the sliding of the mud,
the earthquake thuds are here with me.
CHORUS
The hungar and the pain, the fall of acid rain,
the things we can't explain are here with me.
All the times of war, every retail store,
oil spills on the shore are here with me.
CHORUS
The food from the land, all the working hands,
the package and the can are here with me.
The plants and the beasts who give their lives to feast,
yes, all the lives we eat are here with me.
CHORUS
Whatever money's worth, every baby's birth,
the heartbeats of the earth are here with me.
The moon and the sun and everything to come,
the song of my relations is never done!
CHORUS

Ooohhh, open flow
I go, I go, I go with the flow …
the flow, the flow is what I know ….
Heart and soul are in the flow ….

Dance with me, our life is everlasting!

Jesus Christ, his Spirit rose up living.

His body crucified and died

The essence of his life keeps on giving.

Though our painful tears are cried,
Our Spirits rise, can be denied.
The essence of our Spirit keeps on giving.
