Lyrics
Resilience – Jennifer E. Brant
@All Rights Reserved Jennifer E. Brant
And the children have spoken
From beyond their graves
Survivor’s resilience
Rekindled our flames
They remind us of what happened
Not so long ago
Our families have suffered
Much more than you know
Chorus: Yethinorónhkhwa ne Onkwahwatsire’shón:’a
Tetewatenonwerá:tons tsí niháti tethoné:non
We love our families
And we’re thankful for the ones that came home
It’s time to take stock
Of what’s happening now
Are we really doing better?
Or is it different somehow
We’re learning our languages
And ceremonies
To strengthen our spirits
And our communities
Chorus
