Perla Batalla Lyrics

Turtle Island (Celebrating)
(Perla Batalla/David Batteau)
Left our track
On the back
Of the floodless Earth
Crossed the ice
On the night
Of the proud hunter
Gave our thanks
On the banks
Of the darkened sea
Said a prayer
As we carried on
Our journey east

We’re celebrating
Our story
We’re celebrating
The new horizon
We’re celebrating
Our story
We’re celebrating
Turtle Island
Turtle Island
                
 
Out of the shadows
Came the voices
Of our ancestors
Out of the cavern
Came the whispers
Of the native word

Out of the prairie
Came the fingers
Of a hungry wind
Out of a vision
Came the ocean
At the sun’s rising

Chorus
(solo)
Chorus
