Written by Matt Epp and Isaac Murdoch

lyrics

Out here in the trees
with these flowers at our feet
and the branches waving free
they say hello, we say aanii

like the mushrooms on the ground
communicate without a sound
oh we forage and we’ve found
that there’s enough to go around

we can give our best
why don’t you take your rest
we can live with less

we have everything we need
because we have each other
everything we need
and if we work together
live right with the earth
it’s right there in the dirt
and if love will be our seed
and if we give it water
it will grow up like a tree
taller than the others
look around and you will see
we have everything we need

first we ask the land
then we build our home with our two hands
we’ll carry water from the lake
we’ll give back when we take

there’s a place for you and me
we can grow the food we eat
we have everything we need
