In the Anthropocene (Elder Brother Says) Lyrics by Nick Mulvey

In The Anthropocene

2019

[Intro]
Hey yeah yeah, yeah yeah hey
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah
[Chorus]
In the Anthropocene
What does your freedom mean?
What does your freedom mean?
In the Anthropocene
[Verse 1]
All along the water
Underneath the sea
Can you hear the thousand mile melody?
Coming from a distant whale
Calling from afar
Calling through the ocean channel, sayin', sayin'
Can you hear me?
Hear me?
Can you hear me?
Hear mе?
[Chorus]
Hey yeah yeah, yеah yeah hey
In the Anthropocene
In the Anthropocene
What does your freedom mean?
In the Anthropocene
[Verse 2]
Stumbling through my dreams
Sailing on the skies
The voices of future beings
Remind me to feel
Remind me to feel
Remind me, laugh and cry
The voices of future grandchildren
I hear them askin'
What were you doing?
What have you done?
What were you doing?
What have you done?
What were you doing?
What have you done?
What were you doing?
What have you done?
And are you alive?
And are you free?
Are you free?
Are you free?
[Chorus]
Hey yeah yeah, yeah yeah hey
In the Anthropocene
In the Anthropocene
What does your freedom mean?
What does your freedom mean?
In the Anthropocene
[Bridge]
And the Ai Ni come back
And the Sehwa come back
And the Aya come back
And the knowledge come back
And the dances come back
And the sweet grass come back
And the rivers come back
And the laughter come back
And the medicines come back
And the stories come back
And the oceans come back
And the power come back
And the prayers come back
And the coral come back
And the soil come back
And the tenderness come back
[Verse 3]
Elder brother says we must remember the old ways
The dreaming of the land
And the calling of the rain
We are life itself
Remembering our way
We are life itself
The dreaming of the sea
And we still have time
We still have some time
Yes, we still have time
We still have some time
[Chorus]
Hey yeah yeah, yeah yeah hey
In the Anthropocene
In the Anthropocene
What does your freedom mean?
What does your freedom mean?
In the Anthropocene
In the Anthropocene
In the Anthropocene
