Where Did All My People Go?


 
Words by Doris Riverbird Woman

Where did all my People go?
This I really want to know
Where did all my People disappear to?

Waya Hio Way O Hay
Waya Hio Way O Hay
Waya Hio Way O Hay O Way

Waya Hio Way O Hay
Waya Hio Way O Hay
Waya Hio Way O Hay O Way

Where did all my People go?
This I really want to know
Where did all my People disappear to?

Iam looking everywhere
For my bloodline I despair
I can't seem to find my People here

Tell me where my People are
I have traveled near and far
Tell me where my People are today

Waya Hio Way O Hay
Waya Hio Way O Hay
Waya Hio Way O Hay O Way

Tell me where the millions went
Did they leave by accident?
Tell me why my People went away

They were brave and they were strong
With the land they did no wrong
What has happened to them I despair?

Where did all my People go?
This I really want to know
Where did all my People disappear to?

Waya Hio Way O Hay
Waya Hio Way O Hay
Waya Hio Way O Hay O Way

Waya Hio Way O Hay
Waya Hio Way O Hay
Waya Hio Way O Hay O Way

Waya Hio Way O Hay
Waya Hio Way O Hay
Waya Hio Way O Hay O Way

Maybe they are right now here
In the leaves the trees, the deer (Speed up drum)
In the valley beautiful below

In the sky and in the sea
What is here? They are, I see.
They have never really gone away.

Thank you all for showing me
That my People are now free
So am I, I thank you very much

Waya Hio Way O Hay
Waya Hio Way O Hay
Waya Hio Way O Hay O Way

I am now at peace with all
And my spirit will not fail
Thank you for my People and for me

Maybe they are right now here
In the leaves the trees, the deer
In the valleys beautiful below

In the sky and in the sea
What is here? They are, I see
They have never really gone away

Waya Hio Way O Hay
Waya Hio Way O Hay
Waya Hio Way O Hay O Way

Waya Hio Way O Hay
Waya Hio Way O Hay
Waya Hio Way O Hay O Way

Waya Hio Way O Hay
Waya Hio Way O Hay
Waya Hio Way O Hay O Way (Slow down drum beat)

Where did all my People go?
This I really want to know
Where did all my People disappear to?
