ISS (IS SOMEBODY SINGING) lyrics : "Canadian Woodland Cree"
On solid fuel, and wires, turn the key and light the fires. We're leaving Earth today.
This rocket's burning bright we'll soon be out of sight and orbing in space.
PRECHORUS
Pushed back in my seat, look out my window, there goes home.
That ball of shiny blue houses everybody anybody ever knew.
CREE CHORUS
Nikamo maka kinikamowin ninitohtîn
Ite acâhkosak kâwâsotwâw
Nipîyihten ikote ikwâskwehtihk tipiskaw pesimohk
Kîspin kîwâpamâwak kahkiyaw îyinōwak
Wâskohk wâskayihkanihk ohci
Kâhkiskîyihten tânihki kîpa kâ nohte wiyinoyân
VERSE 2
Eighteen thousand miles an hour fueled by science and solar power the oceans racing past.
At half a thousand tons, ninety minutes Moon to Sun a bullet can't go half this fast.
PRECHORUS
Floating from my seat, look out my window, there goes home.
That brilliant ball of blue is where I'm from, and also where I'm going to.
CREE CHORUS
BRIDGE
All black and white just fades to grey where the sun rises sixteen times a day
You can't make out borders from up here. Just a spinning ball within a tiny atmosphere.
PRECHORUS
Pushed back in my seat, look out my window, here comes home.
What once was fuelled by fear, now has fifteen Nations orbiting together here.
CREE CHORUS
