Lyrics Every Nation - Daniel Lanois

Every Nation

Comin' from every nation
From every nation
A Mi’kmaq came from Nova Scotia (From every nation)
A Mi’kmaq came from Nova Scotia
To find some work in downtown Toronto
And he would not quit 'til the dream filtered down to the finger
Let the sound resound
He beat his drum, he beat it on the avenue
Sound like the rolling sea
Smokestack blind for fire Manitou
And he would not quit 'til the dream filtered down to the finger
Time is here now
Comin' from every nation
Comin' from every nation
Singin' ah
Singin' ah
Wade through the flood
We will cross that separated line
Cross that line
Say
At the beat of the drum
I hear the voices of forgotten ones
Mi’kmaq treaty broken down
Let the sound resound
Sound like a rolling sea, oh, yeah
Smokestack broken fishing line
Through the fire cross the boundary line
Wade through the flood (Say)
Rise from the mud
Say it right now, say it right now
A Mi’kmaq came from Nova Scotia
A Mi’kmaq came from Nova Scotia (Venture through the fire)
Wade through the flood, rise from the mud
Singin' ah
Singin' ah
And he would not quit 'til the dream filtered down to the finger
