| If we fail to see clearly | A |
| Of their plights and of their ways | F |
| Then I ask what hope lies in the heart of a hunter | G |
| Who knows not his way back home | H |

| I hear Them | S |
| I hear their echoes | T |
| Searching for Names to call | U |

| When Irokos now bare the names of Apples | W |
| Because they see no pride in their mightiness | W |

| As the forgotten dark days of our Fathers | W |
| Wage war upon us | W |
| For building our nest on Foreign Lands | W |
| While our Homes bleed from loneliness | W |
