This is a piece of music performed by myself on the tenor recorder. Im not exactly where it is originaly from because it has been adapted and changed so much but I suspect it is Native American in origin. This link seems to point to the Salish people as the originators.

also c heck out this version of the song here on youtube, its really good! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQziKp4NvGs

The words I have been taught to this are somewhat different to the Salish words but this is in keeping with the evolving nature of this musical piece.

The river is flowing,
Flowing and growing,
The river is flowing,
Down to the sea.

Mother earth carry me,
Your child I have always been,
Mother earth carry me,
Down to the sea.

The moon she is waining,
Waxing and waining,
The moon she is gaining,
Ever on me.

Sister moon challenge me,
Your friend I have always been,
Sister moon challenge me,
Until I am free.
