The following lyics are selections from of a few Yellowknife artists' songs about our relationship with the Earth.

Leela Gilday

Ride Horseman
"I wish I had $10 million
I would give it to a village somewhere
Feed all the kids
make them believe life is good and they are safe"
Artist: Leela Gilday
Album: Sedze (2008)

Earth is Crying
"First White man set foot on this land
Searching for gold, searching for diamonds
First tree cut down, cut down for money
It's begun the burning of their beliefs"
Artist: Diga
Album: Earth is Crying (2005)

Dana Sipos

Of the Sun
"And the Earth flew off its axis
Forever abandoning its innocence
And the rain spit with contempt
The stars got drunk and the dust settled in silence"
Artist: Dana Sipos
Album: The Moonshine Brigade (2009)

Poison Water
"Business and their profits seem to justify dishonesty
They're releasing poison water in our lakes, rivers and streams
I said stand up everybody let's show them that we disagree
I said stand up everybody let's show them that we disagree
Because that poison water will kill both you and me"
Artist: Norm Glowach
unreleased single (2008)

Cynthia Russell

Fear and Flowers
Take a stand against your fear; good and bad are always near
Don't be poised and braced for worst,
Try to love and break the curse
Sink your feet into the earth
Sink your soul into the mirth
Good and bad are always near so don't lose the rest to fear
Artist: Cynthia Russell
Album: To a Song (2007)
