about

Umama is the Zulu word for mother.
We are all children the earth is our mother and its time we start doin right by her.

lyrics

Umama
Your mama, my mama
You gave birth long before I was born
To the summer to the seas to the land of a million trees
To the rivers that ran for miles from the Chumash to the Nile
To the mountains made of rock, beauty, granite
To the patches of life you granted
You taught us about the solstice about the seasons.
How to grow how to love for all the right reasons
You created the ocean breeze
all the family the deep blue sea
You never meant for us stay
You wanted us to be free you wanted us to be free
And I love you…. Umama

Umama forgive me
For taking all your water after we begged for rain
For fracking through your bones causing you so much pain
Chopped down your trees that allowed you to breathe
Stole all your seeds after we watched you bleed
For the wars and for the hate
My dear Umama theres not much more you can take
Im sorry for what Ive done, Im sorry for what Ive done
As children of the earth we offer you our breath our prayer and our song
Please be with me Umama as we sing along…
Please be with me Umama as we sing along…

Umama resamos, Umama Bailamos, Umama Cantos Pa ti.
Umama resamos, Umama Bailamos, Umama Cantos Pa ti.
Umama resamos, Umama Bailamos, Umama Cantos Pa ti.
Umama resamos, Umama Bailamos, Umama Cantos Pa ti.
