Who Will Save Our Water

[Intro: Chase Iron Eyes]
When we say "mni wiconi," it means "water is life"
But also we say that because those phrases come from a sacred and cosmic relationship with water kicking into our being, the origin of water, which is connected to the creation of the universe
This foremost spirit sacrificed its own power and its own blood, which is now water, and the blue dome around the Earth in order to create the universe
So when we say mni wiconi, we recognize water is life, that we're connected to it, that we are formed in sacred water in the womb, and that those sacred powers are also inside of us
So we say "water is life" with very powerful meaning and depth

[Chorus: Kinnie Starr]
Who will save our waters, save them for our great-granddaughters?
Save them for our great-granddaughters' sons?
Who will save our waters, save them for our great-granddaugthers?
Save them before all is dead and dust?
Hey hey, oh-ho
Oh please, oh please, don't say no
Hey hey, oh-ho
Oh please, oh please, don't say no

[Verse 1: Kinnie Starr]
[?] goes splitting the land, split the land for which [?]
Carve her up and spit her back poisoned
And faster than them rivers can run, leaks spring up, fittings come undone
Fathers watch the young one dies
Water catches flame, water catches flame, water catches flame

[Chorus: Kinnie Starr]
Who will save our waters, save them for our great-granddaughters?
Save them for our great-granddaughters' sons?
Who will save our waters, save them for our great-granddaugthers?
Save them before all is dead and dust?
Hey hey, oh-ho
Oh please, oh please, don't say no

Who will save our waters, save them for our great-granddaughters?
Save them for our great-granddaughters' sons?
Who will save our waters, save them for our great-granddaugthers?
Save them before all is dead and dust?
Hey hey, oh-ho
Oh please, oh please, don't say no, say no
