When the summer time has come
To the people of the dawn
We'll be fishing on the coasts
Oh, like our ancestors have done
When crawled out of the earth
Our spirit was born
We were purified and ready
We were thankful evermore
When the summer time has come
To the people of the dawn
We'll be dancing for our elders
We'll be dancing for the young
When the summer time has come
To the people of the dawn
For the gifts that we were given
The shelter and the food
Our families that surround us
Oh, and the strength to keep us through
All the times that we've been lonely
When we took the wrong path
The stars came out to guide us
On our journeys on the land
When the summer time has come
To the people of the dawn
We'll be dancing for our elders
We'll be dancing for the young
When the summer time has come
To the people of the dawn
All the men will be singing
Singing songs from the heart
And to honor all the women life givers
When the summer time has come
To the people of the dawn
We'll be dancing for our elders
We'll be dancing for the young
When the summer time has come
To the people of the dawn
To the people of the dawn
When the summer time has come
To the people of the dawn
