LYRICS HERE
Chorus
The earth gives us life
Provides the sunlight
Protects us and keeps us clean
We need to prepare
Create some repairs
Protect it and keep it green
Verse
If we didn’t have the earth, we wouldn’t be alive
If we didn’t drink clean water, we wouldn’t survive
This is the circle of life
We want the circle of life
Let’s keep the circle of life
Preserve the circle
Instrumental
About the Book
We are Water Protectors
Written by Carole Lindstrom
Illustrated by Michaela Goade
Inspired by the many Indigenous-led movements across North America, We Are Water Protectors issues an urgent rallying cry to safeguard the Earth’s water from harm and corruption—a bold and lyrical picture book written by Carole Lindstrom and vibrantly illustrated by Michaela Goade.
Water is the first medicine.
It affects and connects us all . . .
When a black snake threatens to destroy the Earth
And poison her people’s water, one young water protector
Takes a stand to defend Earth’s most sacred resource.
