When we remain
When we remain
We will not be like the beautiful bones of a forgotten city. 🌆💀

When we remain
We will be the flowers and the trees and the vines that overcome the forgotten city.🌻🌳🌱

We have woven ourselves into the cloth of the earth.
We have mixed our breath into the expanding sky.🌈☁️

When we remain
We will not be like the beautiful bones of a forgotten city. 🌆💀

Okla e maya momakma
Okla e maya momakma
Tamaha chito okla imihaksi tuko
I foni aiyokli ahoba hapiachi kiyo.

Okla e maya momakma
Napakanli micha iti micha nan vpi ahoba osh ohmi tamaha chito okla imihaksi tukon, okla il vbachike.

Yakni i natanna ibachvffa hosh okla il ilai achonli tuk.
Hapi fiopa ya shotik chinto okla il itibani tuk.

Okla e maya momakma
Tamaha chito okla imihaksi tuko
I foni aiyokli ahoba hapiachi kiyo.
