THE SHAMAN'S MESSAGE
THE MESSAGE: « Hey - Look at me We see you We tried to show you You never bothered to learn our language You were always looking down We’ve been warning you since the beginning The land is alive This land can’t be owned This land is us All of us You wanted the stones The Gold Your shiny things Titles - Flags - Profits You called that progress We tried to teach you But you’ve always been so greedy Too primitive - Too savage To understand Now you still bring curses over the Yanomami Illnesses And once again we are dying because of it And all indigenous land is being turned into ashes and mud Five centuries You never looked up to discover what we were holding in place The sky itself Your cities can see it Your crops can see it Your kids can see it We can see it in your lungs Take a deep breath Open your eyes and look up Can you finally see it ? Help the Yanomami hold up the sky »
