LYRICS:

Kalianne
Town is gone
Lytton is strong
they say we’re gone
but we’re still here
town went up in flames
no one took the blame
it will never be the same
I can still feel the pain
I just want to feel the happy memories
I just want to be with my family
let the pain go I’m a set it free
feeling love that is my remedy

Aaliyah
we may have lost our town but home is still here
just like a seed our people will persevere
we are still here
we are still here

Chorus
I may have lost a lot
but I didn’t lose myself
I may have lost a lot
but I’m never gonna lose myself

Turner
dreaming of my journey
trying to figure out cultures way
lost in the present
man, I gotta mask up the pain
they claim that I am the future
but how am I the future all stuck in the past?
while the river runs through us

Lacey
steer into the river
life is always flowing
earth is always spinning
and we’re daydreaming
start blowing, better knowing
trying to figure out where I’m going
life is a serious unknowing

Chorus
I may have lost a lot
but I didn’t lose myself
I may have lost a lot
but I’m never gonna lose myself

Lily-Doris
I wanna be grand, I wanna be great
I wanna perform for my own sake
up with stage, up with the lights
I’ll sing forever for my sisters rights
when I stood above her grave
I realized all that she gave
hope she’s above just amazed

Zyris
skating is all I want to do til I die
I ain’t gonna lie it makes me feel like I can fly
I ain’t even scared to fail cause that means I still tried
doing something that I love makes me feel alive

Chorus
I may have lost a lot
but I didn’t lose myself
I may have lost a lot
but I’m never gonna lose myself

Nightsky
I wanna be able to help my people to our culture
so our culture won’t die
many people told me that having the right
to fight for what is right is a crime
but that it was a waste of time
I was being blind by the string of fate
how much time do we have to pace?
before it eats us inside
it’s right in front of us but we don’t realize

Noah
Fish packing no slacking
I’m all about the action
staying straight on the path
that’s a lesson like a class

Chorus
I may have lost a lot
but I didn’t lose myself
I may have lost a lot
but I’m never gonna lose myself

Jace
I missed them but they left me
scars all over my body
can’t forgive them for what they did
staying strong since I was a kid
Damage done left memories
Felt the pain for a century
Fake smiles is a recipe
Had a mask on but it gets to me

Chorus
I may have lost a lot
but I didn’t lose myself
I may have lost a lot
but I’m never gonna lose myself

Never gonna, never gonna lose
Never lose myself
Never gonna, never gonna lose
Never lose myself
