Song of the Stars

we are the stars which sing
we sing with our light;
we are the birds of fire,
we fly over the sky.
our light is a voice;
we make a road for the spirit to pass over

{algonquian indian}

out? ba mwen son ou,e,
out? ba mwen son ou,e,
tanbouy? o ba mwen son ou,
sol?y l?ve.
out? give me your sound,
out? give me your sound,
drummer, give me your sound,
the sun rises.
