In the Anthropocene (Elder Brother Says) - Nick Mulvey

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

In the anthropocene

What does your freedom mean?

What does your freedom mean

In the anthropocene?

All along the water

Underneath the sea

Can you hear the thousand mile melody?

Comin' from a distant way

You’re callin' from afar

Callin' through the ocean channels

Sayin', sayin' can you hear me?

Hear me?

Can you hear me?

Hear me?

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

In the anthropocene

In the anthropocene

What does your freedom mean

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

In the anthropocene?

Stumbling through my dreams

Sailing on the sky

The voices of future beings

Remind me to feel

Remind me to feel

Remind me to laugh and cry

The voices of future grandchildren

I hear them asking, «What were you doing?

What have you done?

What were you doing?

What have you done?

What were you doing?

What have you done?

What were you doing?

And are you alive?

And are you free?

Are you free?

Are you free?»

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

In the anthropocene

In the anthropocene

What does your freedom mean?

What does your freedom mean

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

In the anthropocene?

And the Ai Ni come back

And the Sehwa come back

And the Aya come back

And the knowledge come back

And the dances come back

And the sweet grass come back

And the rivers come back

And the laughter come back

And the medicines come back

And the stories come back

And the power come back

And the oceans come back

And the prayers come back

And the coral come back

And the soil come back

And the tenderness come back

Elder brother said we must remember the old ways

The dreamin' of the land

And the calling of the rain

We are life itself

Remembering our way

We are life itself

The dreaming of the sea

We still have time

We still have some time

Yes, we still have time

We still have some time

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
