LYRICS:

BRAYDEN
In the middle of an epidemic
Our people are lost
Straight out the pandemic
Our livelihoods are gone

MASON
These addictions are filling the world with fiction
I’m feeling like you should listen
I’m here to help your affliction

GABRIELLE
We’re not looking for no sorry
Everybody has a story
Addiction can be lonely, I know

KAILYN
This the start, not the end
I know it’s hard to pretend
You’re recovering slowly, I know

DESTINY
We’re here to help you, get back to your truth
You’re still alive
Never say die

CHORUS
Ooo, remember what our elders say
Ooo, everything will be ok
Ooo, you’re never alone, I can feel it in my bones
The culture will bring us home

KENDYN
Wasting your mind, wasting dimes
Killing brain cells all the time
Put the pipe down, I don’t like this in my town

JESSE
Living in this town, that’s filled with good people
Isolated, lost, but I keep the good feelings

DEEANDRA
We used to walk in the night
Then you stopped in the light
But it’s not too late, you can still fight!

VICTORIA
I’m struggling, trying to chase my dreams
No motivation, look at these other teens
I feel helpless, where is my mind at?
Starting to think, that these drugs made an impact

CHORUS
Ooo, remember what our elders say
Ooo, everything will be ok
Ooo, you’re never alone, I can feel it in my bones
The culture will bring us home

*Aklavik Delta Drummers and Dancers

The opening line - hopeful and promising. Youth voices become elder leadership for the future. Taxa.
