I needed to hear this song because it lyrics transcends the culture, society and of Man himself... Ask yourself what can you do to make that change. I see many of people rising up and standing up against brine waste in the local rivers. If you can choose to stand for something for once in your life, at least stand up for the Mother Earth. We only have one planet and without clean drinking water we all die... Dont mater what the colour your skin is, how much income you have. Hats off to Cheryl Maloney , Lisa Marshall and the many others warriors and champions. Thank you for standing up and doing your job protecting the Earth. I would like to quote the site paragraphs from the Hopi Prophecies, in order to shed light on what our people are doing this for.... NORTH AMERICAN INDIAN (HOPI) PROPHECIES At the beginning of this cycle of time, long ago, the Great Spirit came down and He made an appearance and He gathered the peoples of this earth together they say on an island which is now beneath the water and He said to the human beings, Im going to send you to four directions and over time Im going to change you to four colors, but Im going to give you some teachings and you will call these the Original Teachings and when you come back together with each other you will share these so that you can live and have peace on earth, and a great civilization will come about. And he said During the cycle of time Im going to give each of you two stone tablets. When I give you those stone tablets, dont cast those upon the ground. If any of the brothers and sisters of the four directions and the four colors cast their tablets on the ground, not only, will human beings have a hard time, but almost the earth itself will die. And so he gave each of us a responsibility and we call that the Guardianship. To the Indian people, the red people, he gave the Guardianship of the earth. We were to learn during this cycle of time the teachings of the earth, the plants that grow from the earth, the foods that you can eat, and the herbs that are healing so that when we came back together with the other brothers and sisters we could share this knowledge with them. Something good was to happen on the earth. To the South, he gave the yellow race of people the Guardianship of the wind. They were to learn about the sky and breathing and how to take that within ourselves for spiritual advancement. They were to share that with is at this time. To the West He gave the black race of people the Guardianship of the water. They were to learn the teachings of the water which is the chief of the elements, being the most humble and the most powerful. When I went to the University of Washington and I learned that it was a black man that discovered blood plasma, it didnt surprise me because blood is water and the elders already told me the black people would bring the teachings of the water. To the North He gave the white race of people the Guardianship of the fire. If you look at the center of many of the things they do you will find the fire. They say a light bulb is the white mans fire. If you look at the center of a car you will find a spark. If you look at the center of the airplane and the train you will find the fire. The fire consumes, and also moves. This is why it was the white brothers and sisters who began to move upon the face of the earth and reunite us as a human family.
