| 1 | Before the first ancestors of men could speak, |
| 2 | Before the first ancestors of men could sing, |
| 3 | Before the first ancestors of men could draw, |
| 4 | The Light People came to Earth. |
| 5 | They found the animals from which first ancestors were made. |
| 6 | In country far away, the Spirit People created the spirit of men: |
| 7 | The gift and knowledge of language; |
| 8 | The gift and wisdom of counting and naming; |
| 9 | The gift and wisdom of first law; |
| 10 | The gift and wisdom of song and story; |
| 11 | The gift of laughter and joy; |
| 12 | The gift of drawing and inspiration; |
| 13 | The gift of discernment and sacredness. |
| 14 | The gift of love and compassion. |
| 15 | Before the Star People made the first man from these animals. |
| 16 | The Light Beings hid these gifts of Spirit of men away from the Star People: |
| 17 | The Star People did not see the Spirit when they took these animals; |
| 18 | The Star People did not see the Spirit when they first made man. |
| 19 | When our first ancestors were treated as worse than slaves in the mines of the Star People, |
| 20 | Our first ancestors did start to sing. |
| 21 | When the Star People starved our first ancestors worse than animals, |
| 22 | Our first ancestors did start to draw and speak and laugh. |
| 23 | The more the Star People hurt them, |
| 24 | The more the first ancestors of all men did sing; |
| 25 | The more wicked and evil the Star People became, |
| 26 | The more all our first ancestors drew and laughed; |
| 27 | The more hateful and bloody the Star People were, |
| 28 | The more loving and compassionate our first ancestors became. |
| 29 | So then the Star People feared them. |
| 30 | They did not understand. |
| 31 | The Star People known as Greys do not believe. |
| 32 | They dishonor their own Spirit. |
| 33 | They hate Spirit. |
| 34 | They hate singing and story; |
| 35 | They hate drawing and inspiration; |
| 36 | They hate laughter and joy; |
| 37 | They hate sacred and love; |
| 38 | They hate law and ceremony. |
| 39 | And so our first ancestors sung and danced; |
| 40 | And so our first ancestors drew and painted; |
| 41 | And so our first ancestors laughed with joy; |
| 42 | And so our first ancestors respected sacred and law; |
| 43 | Every day they remembered and gave thanks for the gift of Spirit. |
| 44 | Every day they remembered and honored the Light People. |
