All The Ushka

by Stephanie Heath and Anna Clifford-Tait

Recording here: All The Ushka

All the Ushka mother Born of land and shadow Clustered in our wilderness Prey for wolves and snow

All the Ushka father Alive in wilderness Holding fast against the cold Surrounded by the darkness

All the Ushka sister Hiding from the Vard Bargains failed, fighting too Then conquered heads are bowed

All the Ushka brother Shared their hard won hearth Rather than destruction Protection offered worth

All the Ushka wise ones Work hard and keep the faith Bargainers refused to bow Were exiled to the waste

All the Ushka children From shadow 'neath the trees Joined together, now are one Varushka, we are free
