LYRICS TO WE ARE GRAND RONDE

Many years, through it all, our people have survived. By thier courage, honor and faith, our Tribes are still alive. 1856, from Table Rock, they endured a trail of tears. The blessings of that sacred walk, will go on for years. Here we are standing strong, for future generations. All with One Heart, One Spirit, and One Drum.

All you People of the Cedar and mother earth. All you people of the valleys, rivers, and mountains...

We are Grand Ronde (4 times) Wey Hey, We Are Grand Ronde

Flute Solo

From Children to Elders, together hand in hand. Like an Eagle, we'll spread our wings and soar across the sky...

All you People of the Cedar and mother earth. All you people of the valleys, rivers, and mountains...

We are Grand Ronde (4 times) Wey Hey, We Are Grand Ronde (3 times, slow to end)
