From the recording Count. Me. In.
Many indigenous nations decide on changes to their land based on whether it will be good for the seventh generation down the line.
Lyrics
The Seventh Generation
D G D A
Thank you for serving a Plant-based meal, no meat or fish or cheese.
D G D A D
Cook it up savory or spicy. I’m sure that it will please.
Chorus
D G D A
The sons and daughters thank you, The great great grandkids, too.
D G D A D
The Seventh Generation thanks you for doing what you do.
Thank you for protesting that pipeline, putting your life on the line.
Protecting Mother Earth’s water and praying for a better time.
Chorus
Thank you for your Friday Climate Strike, for a future that is Green.
For speaking truth to power even though you’re still a teen.
Chorus
Thank you for using LEDs instead of incandescent lights.
I know you are just saving money, but our future will be bright.
Chorus
Thank you for using your bicycle instead of using your car.
It saves so much energy when you really don’t travel that far.
Chorus
Thank you for having your meetings, face to face on Zoom.
It saves so much on driving. And your pets can stay in the room.
Chorus
Thank you for being here today. Thank you for listening to this song.
Even if you’re just getting started, thank you for singing along.
Chorus
