People Who Change Nature Lyrics


Do you know what we are afraid of, white man?

Do you know what makes us shake in our mothers arms?

We're afraid of your power, it pulses like a light too bright.

We're afraid of how you attack the portrait of a land

like it has always been yours and yours only.

We're afraid that the maps we've memorised

will have changed so much it'll take more than one generation

to memorise new inlets and coves.

We're afraid because you've silenced our shaman.

Now he looks at the land like he's never before seen it.

We're afraid of your separation

from the animal world.

You people who change nature,

your separation is all too complete.

There is no going back for you.

The north will not be on your side again.
