about

How did we get here? Who came before us? Who are we in relation to our ancestry, the land we are from, the land we are on now, the bodies of water we live in, the bodies of water we crossed, and what responsibilities do we have together, here, now? Inspired by the interdisciplinary show by Corrina Keeling that I had the pleasure to be a part of years ago.

lyrics

Have you ever wandered the lands of your ancestors?
Do you hear them calling from the center of the earth?
Do you feel alone, far away from home?
Darling don’t you know, you carry all their hopes
Oh my brothers and sisters
Does blood really run thicker
Than these bodies of water
That hold us together?
Take a moment to remember who paved all these roads
Under our feet on this journey to create a new world
Which wings made the winds that blow to these distant shores
So we can finally tell these stories they couldn’t before
Oh my brothers and sisters
Does blood really run thicker
Than these bodies of water
That hold us together?
Oh my brothers and sisters
Does blood really run thicker
Than these bodies of water
That hold us together?
So run, run, run
We ain’t done
So run, run run
We’ve just begun
