Yupik Tribe Song Lyrics

Yupik Song – Tune: “Chasing Cars”


The gates are gone
Out of view
Ten long months

We just want
The memories
To never fade

Things that we fear
Seem to just disappear
Passing through these gates,
We just forget the world.

We don’t quite know
What to say
Or how to feel

We ever thought
We’d grow so much
Yet years for more.

Things that we fear
Seem to just disappear
Passing through these gates,
We just forget the world.

The friendships we’ll hold
Even when we get old
Yupik bonds stay strong through
Journeys of our lives

It’s the time
Seize these days
Have no regrets

Our sacred place
We hold so dear
Our summer home

But when we leave here
The feeling will stay near
Owego our place where we just
Forget the world.

The friendships we’ll hold
Even when we get old
Yupik bonds stay strong through
Journeys of our lives.

It allows us
To be who we want to e
We are the boys and this place,
Our giving tree.

Sitting alone
Confused about where we’ll go
Yupik’s six pillars will lead us
Through our lives.

But when we are here
Our minds remain clear
Lets stay in these gates and just forget
The world.
