From the recording Ancestors
I bow to First Nations teachers who first taught me this phrase. May this be our collective healing.
Thanks to Libby McLaren for some of the harmony singing.
Lyrics
All My Relations (2021)
All my relations, welcome to the feast
All my relations: human, plant and beast.
No separation, no more pride of place
Welcome to the garden of original grace
All my relations, All my relations
All my relations, All my relations
When the gates are open and the arms held wide
When all are welcomed, none are left outside
Our frozen hearts are softened; we own the damage done,
when we’ve sought forgiveness, we can feast as one.
