Written by Kendal Blum

lyrics

If the creek could speak
I’d ask what is in your dreams
When you’re buried in the dark
When you’re running under streets
Do you dream of your old friends?
Chinook and Coho salmon
At home in your headwaters
They’d spawn and lay to rest

When you wake up under bars
Terrorized by sounds of cars
How do you comfort yourself? x3
From the nightmares of your present

When the creek does sing
Do we listen to its song
Know that it will still be here
When we are dead and gone
When the creek does sing
Do we listen to its song
If we break down its cage
Can we still right our wrongs

When the ground does shake
The culverts will all crumble
The clouds will call a storm
And the surge will be a flood
Then the creek will rush
From the hills down to the bay
Taking concrete in its currents
Carrying all our fears away

When the creek is free
Reunited it will be
With the whispers of the willows
And the calls of black phoebes
Streaming water over stones
Your people returned to home
Feel the sun upon your shores
In the land where you are known

Crossing creek will be a ford
The shellmounds will be restored
This is the freedom we seek x3
Liberate Temescal Creek

When the creek does roar
Will we heed its call
It’s the lifeblood of this land
It cannot be held by walls
When the creek does roar
Will we heed its call
Know that daylight is its birthright
It will bring us to the fall

We sing this song for you
I bring all my gratitude
Let us sing to the future x3
Where the old gods will renew
