This was the first song that I ever wrote...many moons ago.

Everyday I rise from my resting place
look up to the sky and I give my thanks
start my day and do whats gotta be done
but i don't forget where i came from prayin,
G and G and the great big "C"
Guide me to the things that I wanna be
but help me keep my heart cause being native's the key

Chorus:
All my Sto:lo peeps who can jam to this song askin
who am I, where am I, where have we gone?
Listen up everyone cause it won't be long,
We'll be coming up
Sto:lo Strong

Sittin in class going insane
teacher's workin on my brain drain
my spirit's tired from prayin everyday but i'm workin hard feelin no shame
cause I
know one day I'll be homebound soon
to give back the strength you have given to me
and I'll be the person I was meant to be

CHORUS

Tsetsel ey to young people today
for the love and smiles that you share with me
cause you're hearts are pure and your spirits are light
you bring our lives to a brand new height
Only look forward don't give up the fight
you're worth more than gold and your futures are bright
so say ok and sing along and say

Chorus

Repeat Verse 1
