Spirit of the ancestors You lived your life so we could be Spirit of the ancestors We sing this song to honour thee You lived your life on Earth By the flames of the fire The waves of the sea And the gift of greatest worth Is the gift of life You gave to me Spirit of the ancestors You lived your life so we could be Spirit of the ancestors We sing this song to honour thee I feel you deep within Spirit of the sacred waters Spirit of the sacred wind We are your sons and daughters Spirit of the ancestors You lived your life so we could be Spirit of the ancestors We sing this song to honour thee
