Métis Hands
written by Andrea Menard, Robert Walsh, Sept 2005


When the Voyageurs first came
ils n’attandaient pas d’etre peres
of a new nation
sur une vielle terre
(ils travallaient si fort)
ils etaient si fier
of their newfound family
dont je suis soeur, tu es frere

Look in these Métis eyes
hold these Métis hands’
we’re all held together, by love, by this land
we are family, we’re all family

When the winds of change were upon them
the ladies braced the wind
they opened up their hearts and homes
and took the strangers in
elles prevoyaient l’avenir
they saw their babies eyes
burntwood faces under prairies skies

Look in these Métis eyes
hold these Métis hands’
we’re all held together, by love by this land
we are family, we’re all family

Ecoutez mes enfants
l’histoire vous appartient
c’est ecrit dans la ceinture fleche
c’est ecrit dans vos mains
children listen
the future’s in your hands
Weave together our story strand by strand

Look in these Métis eyes
hold these Métis hands’
we’re all held together by love, by this land
we are family, we’re all family
