Lynn Andrews with French adaptation by Jessy LaPointe and Jean-Sébastien Kennedy
Sister sister, brother brother
Family where my heart belongs
Home is the circle inside the “Other”
Many voices, one song.
No fear will keep this gift from giving
No shame can take my voice away.
My heart was born awake and singing
My heart was born this way.
Chantons pour ceux qui ont lutté
Avec force, douceur et foi
Chantons pour les coeurs apprimés
Une chanson, plusieurs voix
La peur, la honte, rien pour t’arrêter
No shame can steal your voice away
Nous sommes nés pour aimer et chanter
Our hearts were born this way.
Original Poem
Sister sister, brother brother
Family where my heart belongs
Home is the circle inside the “Other”
Many voices, one song.
No fear will keep this gift from giving
No shame can take my voice away.
My heart was born awake and singing
My heart was born this way.
Sing for those who danced before us
Courage of the kind and strong
Sing for those still seeking freedom
Many voices, one song.
No fear will keep this gift from giving
No shame can steal your voice away
Our hearts were born awake and singing
Our hearts were born this way.
