My brothers

Verse 1
and I,
we share the wood canal
G 
Sweat falls to the ground
D 
A 
And at night when we return home
G 
Our children gather round
D 
G 
D 
Let our labours now be not in vain
G 
May our values be upward
D 
A 
So our sons and daughters shall in turn
G 
D 
Inherit his schooner
A 
By these hands we harvest
the native fruits
G 
D 
And fish from the sea
A 
The land is our only bed
G 
and the sky our canopy
D 
G 
D 
For we do not seek destruction
G 
D 
and we do not covet greed
A 
We take only what the earth can give
G 
D 
A 
and only what we leave
G 
D 
Away, away
A 
Understand this message
G 
D 
from the people of the earth
A 
So you may take your place
in this old world
G 
D 
From the moment of your birth
G 
D 
See how the world spreads from your feet
G 
D 
to touch every living being
A 
So in turn may you live with grace
G 
D 
upon your school day
A 
May your step always be firm and true,
G 
And your heart never be afraid
D 
A 
of those who seek to ridicule
G 
D 
and those whose faith has failed.
G 
But if someone should help you,
D 
G 
then you must help ten more in return
D 
A 
For this is the way
peace will spread
G 
D 
upon this good earth
A 
Yes, this is the way,
peace will spread,
G 
D 
A 
upon this good land.

Away, Away, Away, away

Away, away, away...

Away, Away, Away,
A

Away, Away, Away
