about

Singing in solidarity with the brave forest defenders holding down the powerful protection of the last remaining ancient Old Growth trees at the Fairy Creek Blockade on Vancouver Island. 🌲

This song was birthed my first night at Fairy Creek, deeply inspired by the passion and open-heartedness I had witnessed and experienced from the conscious community there and the innate magic of the Old Growth forest itself.

I have been playing it quietly ever since that first night, and on every subsequent visit back, but now I feel called to share it loudly, with the larger community, due to its timely message and the energy that song and poetry can carry, to create change and imagine the new worlds that are possible if we all united as one, in our individual power. ✊

‘New Folks’ feels like my offering back, the only way I can think to help right now, and maybe inspire others to keep being these new folks we need in the world, the Leaders of Love.

*All proceeds collected from the purchase of this song will go directly back to the Rainforest Flying Squad and supporting those on the frontline fighting for the continued protection of the Old Growth Forests.*

lyrics

Together we came to stand
to protect this sacred land
heart to heart, hand in hand
it’s time we draw a line in the sand

These ancient trees are
the air that we breathe
thousands of years of diversity
root to root, leaf to leaf
in laws of Nature we all must believe

We are the New Folks
fighting for the the Old Growth
armed with the soil and seed
to see beyond that corporate greed

We are the Old Folks
praying for New Growth
hear the call, feel the need
open hearts it’s time to lead

Collectively we must be
the healing hand of community
in unity, we are free
all hurting hearts it’s time to grieve

These Old Growth trees are
the air that we breathe
thousands of years of diversity
with clarity, we shall see
the gifts of Nature are ours to receive

We are the New Folks
fighting for the Old Growth
We are the Old Folks
praying for New Growth
