They shine above us with the stars

Some are near and some are far

They call to us for clarity

Some will know and then some will see

Their voices echo through the sky

Some will laugh and some will cry

They tear and rend so easily

Some will stay and then some will flee



E si do may, e si wakan wey

E si do may, e si wakan wey

E si wakan wey.



We'll ask again and once again

How could this have ever been

We'll know the reason by and by

Some will still be asking why

They sleep a slumber deep and wide

Some will go and some will hide

Their hour is over, it is done

It is ours that's just begun.



E si do may, e si wakan wey

E si do may, e si wakan wey

E si wakan wey.



E si do may, e si wakan wey

E si do may, e si wakan wey

E si wakan wey.
