the places that we lived, the living that we did
the places we were put, the things we were giving
the things that they took
they took away our pride, and if they didn't
take our lives, they took away the things that made us feel alive
oooo what have we become, what have we become
oooo how did this become, how did this become
the old women reflects from the east to the west
she thinks of her grandmother and her grandfather
and the strength that they had
now she looks to the young
with all their sniffing and their drugs
the drinking that has stolen so many souls
and flooded her sacred blood
she says oooo what have we become,
what have we become
she says oooo how did this become,
how did this become
she says oooo the bottle took my son,
it took away my son
she says oooo where we going to run,
what have we become

Con cittadinanza canadese, si distingue per la sua musica folk acustica, spesso arricchita da elementi tradizionali aborigeni.
