Ancestor Song (chapt​.​13)

about

"Trust your brothers and sisters. Trust the wisdom that has been passed down through the ages by our ancestors. Many died defending it. Trust your instincts, your true nature."
Raz's wisdom is derived from an ancestral belief in many African cultures that our ancestors are forever alive in our blood, guiding us through life's many trials and protecting us with their genetic wisdom.

‘Nous devons suivre notre instinct et libérer notre vraie nature. Nous devons la réveiller, même chez les plus faibles et plus petits chats d'appartement. Tu dois apprendre à entendre cette voix au plus profond de toi, Lady Kiwi. C'est la voix des milliers d'ancêtres qui vivent en toi, qui te montrent le chemin et t'aident à devenir un vrai chat, un chat libre.'
Cette sagesse de la part de Raz est dérivée d'une croyance de beaucoup de peuples africains pour qui leurs ancêtres vivent dans nos veines. Ils nous guident et nous protègent des pièges et des aléas que la vie nous réserve.

lyrics

If you’re not sure where to go, or you feel alone at night,
my love,
look deep inside yourself, you’ll see us shine the light, for you,
my love
If you’re lost and confused, or you can’t see the truth
my love,
just close your eyes to feel us watching over you,
from above

‘cause your blood is a stream
that flows through the ages,
guiding whispers
that sing through history’s pages,
and the souls of those before you
run strong in your veins,
so no matter how you feel, no matter where you go,
you’re never alone…

If you’re feeling kind of sad, just look inside yourself
my love,
and see the souls from the past, they will give you strength,
my love,
In the moments when you doubt, and you want to give up,
my love,
feel us all inside, alive within your blood,
my love

the path will clear, the truth will shine
through centuries of blood divine,
your ancestors watch with love and care
over the flow of your life…
And then one day, when I’ll be gone,
You will need to be strong,
To feel me there,
Deep inside your bones…
you’re never alone.
you’re never alone, my love,
you’re never alone.
