The Gathering

The grandmothers are gathering.

Can you hear them? 

They are singing the water song.

Nee bee wah bow
En die en
Aah key mis kquee
Nee bee wah bow
Hey ya hey ya hey ya hey
Hey ya hey ya hey ya ho

The water can hear you, it has memory.

We sing this lullaby because water is the life's blood of mother earth. 

Water is the the life's blood of our own bodies.

And just like our grandmothers, you are a keeper of the water.

By adding your voice to our grandmother's you honor our ancestors, and our children yet to come.

Bless the water, bless the grandmothers, and bless the eternal child in each of us.

Every drop of water brings a new chance for every hope and every dream.

Nee bee wah bow
En die en
Aah key mis kquee
Nee bee wah bow
Hey ya hey ya hey ya hey
Hey ya hey ya hey ya ho

Bless the water, bless the grandmothers, and bless the eternal child in each of us.

Special thanks to Grandma Nancy of the Algonquin people.

Sing the water song four times, each time facing one of the four directions in this order:
East, South, West, North
