Lyrics

The song commences with the Kogi myth for creation set to music:

In the beginning there was blackness
Only the Sea.
In the beginning, there was no sun, no moon, no people.
In the beginning there were no animals, no plants, only the Sea.
The Sea was the Mother
The Mother was not people
She was not anything, nothing at all.
She was, when she was, darkly
She was memory and potential
She was....Aluna.
The lyrics of the song are as follows:

They come from a mountain,
These mystical people
Listen to the words they speak,
A message of wonder, a message of warning
Listen to the Kogi speak
Aware of Earth's torture, our imminent danger
Listen to the Kogi speak.
Reach out mountain high,
Feel her, love her
Can you see her, free her, feel her love her,
Be as one.
Mountain high reaches out..to help us,
They feel us..Mountain high reaching out
They come from a mountain,
These mystical people,
A message to the world they give
Unlimited wisdom, unfathomable reason
Listen to the words they speak.
Listen to the breathing of the wind
Against your heart.
A question of time, we've drawn the line
Listen to the Kogi speak.
