We have forgotten who we are

 

We have forgotten who we are

We have alienated ourselves from the unfolding

        of the cosmos

We have become estranged from the movements

        of the earth

We have turned our backs on the cycles of life.

 

We have forgotten who we are

 

We have sought only our own security

We have exploited simply for our own ends

We have distorted our knowledge

We have abused our power.

 

We have forgotten who we are

 

Now the land is barren

And the waters are poisoned

And the air is polluted

 

We have forgotten who we are

 

Now the forests are dying

And the creatures are disappearing

And the humans are despairing

 

We have forgotten who we are

 

We ask forgiveness

We ask for the gift of remembering

We ask for the strength to change

 

We have forgotten who we are
