Omens

[Verse 1: Nahko]
It was in fractured light
They were omens in disguise
Like a bird chirping sweetly
With a twinkle in his eye
Swooping down with a message
Of incoming color
Or the moss talking softly
To the woman of the woods

[Chorus 1: Nahko & Bailey Scott]
I feel her calling me over
I lay my head on her shoulder
The ferns reach my knees
They are pleading
Please remember, the forest remembers
I remember, the forest remembers

[Verse 2: Nahko]
I am deep in the blue
I am covered in the salt
I watch fish eat their supper
Off a colorful reef wall
I dive deeper to murmurs
It's the sea conversating
And a turtle appears
To be peering into me

[Chorus 2: Nahko & Bailey Scott]
I feel him calling me over
His shell gently grazes my shoulder
His eyes seem to cry
He is pleading
Please remember, the ocean remembers
I remember, the ocean remembers

[Verse 3: Nahko]
I am walking as tall
As the trees that surround me
On the bark, I see painted
With the lichen and the moss
An old Indian betrayed
By his own tomahawk
As I near, his weary eyes lift
But before he can talk

[Chorus 3: Nahko & Bailey Scott]
I feel him calling me over
He puts all his pride on my shoulders
He whispers his last
He is pleading
Please remember, the Mother remembers
I remember, the Mother remembers
Oh, the embers that burn for your brothers
I remember, the Mother remembers

[Chorus 3: Nahko & Bailey Scott]
I feel him calling me over
He puts all his pride on my shoulders
He whispers his last
He is pleading
Please remember, the Mother remembers
I remember, the Mother remembers
Oh, the embers that burn for your brothers
I remember, the Mother remembers
