Nahko: "Love Letters To God"

[@j3fton]

I decided to help somebody who I didn't really want to today. Because of this song.

[@cozmikspirit4594]

Gosh you're inspiring.

[@randywatchingbush]

The 1st time I heard this was like discovering Nahko all over again.. it was Aloha revisited for me and the beginning of many more layers of Truth expressed in Love to be realized.. Nahko is Not just another musician but a Musical Shaman who is changing the lives of those who will open up their Hearts to The Truths that were buried long ago by the lies of society .. Peace

[@randywatchingbush]

***** Thanks Sean.. But considering the way He restored my Hope in our Species it is the very least i can do.. Thanks again for your encouragement.. Peace

[@MrGre8ness]

+randywatchingbuyea i agree with sean, when i go to a medcine/ nahko concert ...i will look for you...take that as a complament .... ill ask to hug you/ hand shake

[@randywatchingbush]

MrGre8ness When he gets down towards New Orleans I will find a way.. I Love this kid more than words.. thanks for the Love bro.. Peace

[@calebjosh09]

+randywatchingbush I could not agree more! i first found Nahko through the black as night acoustic video and hearing this song recreated that amazing feeling all over again. Listening to his music and hearing what he has to say has changed me so much, it's opened me to this new spiritual reality that I was blind to.

[@grothetote8255]

+randywatchingbush Your words are so beautiful Randy, I love how you express yourself so freely.

[@kiethj7]

Hearing this live brings tears. Tears of buried burden, joy, and peace. That night was straight bliss!

[@andreatummons4]

Lyrics for those who love this song! :) Give, Always give what you can Even if your allies draw lines in the sand And dig, always dig a little deeper Sometimes it’s hard to be my brother’s keeper Love. So you let love in Baby I am home in the wake of your skin, and it’s crazy How we wear our ceremonies Always be open to your path and your journey Yes, she cradles my loneliness A home in a forest nest Universal test, feel the weight of my love put your hand on my chest And rest In the cradle of my arms The battle that we face is a place where our scars come from And to pick up that gun My love we are destined to teach these ones to be brave And never run away Courage is birthed from the womb on the first light of day Yeah, the day you were born you came out perfect never meant to be torn In silence, never been so loud in the violence Never been so proud of a people When we’re fighting for a change, not afraid to lose it all despite all the rage We are animals And we cannot be caged Provoke us to fight So we burn a little sage and write poetry Wiser than the enemy will ever be The minority And authority Are you here to protect or arrest me? I can’t tolerate the hate, and we’re losing sleep Can’t breathe because they’re choking out a war in me Immorality [Chorus] Love letters to God Wonder if she reads them or if they get lost In the stars, the stars, in the stars So many parts to a heavy heart If there’s no beginning, then where would you start? Start, start, where would you start? [Verse 2] Human souls, so we carve them to a story Totem poles Because we’re always searching for a certain goal A pattern of physics, a role Don’t believe all you’re told And open Open up your fist A misconception, you can fight like this In praise. With the power of prayer If God’s on our side we can take the stairs To the heavens Flipping through my chapter seven I live with the snakes in the great deception No court, in this country for men Who steal from their mother on paper with pen And we’re tripping Down a red dirt road And we’re asking Is this the way we should go? Kissing, soft top feet of my goddess We walk the earth, baby yeah we got this Focus, and it’s redirected Grateful, and I’m resurrected Stubborn, But I know the way You’re the skin of my drum To your rhythm I will sway Take my hand I won’t lead you astray We will not go gently into the darkest of days Grandma’s here, and she says persevere Take a walk in her mocks sees a trail of tears And our fears, are the same as they ever were beers[?] Numb the pain of our holocaust years Always mobbing and motion Maybe, baby be an island over an ocean Your arches, how they bend and contract in my Conscious Never slipped through the grip of my thesis And my theory is I shine in your presence A deliverance [Chorus] Love letters to God Wonder if she reads them or if they get lost In the stars, the stars, in the stars So many parts to a heavy heart If there’s no beginning, then where would you start? Start, start, where would you start?

[@caseyworthington3784]

+Andrea Tummons the beers line is this -- beers starts the next line :) I think this might be the most beautiful song I've ever heard, thanks so much for transcribing it! And our fears, are the same as they ever were Beers numb the pain of our holocaust years

[@andreatummons4]

You're absolutely right. :)

[@beccakaleideshine4237]

+Smith Wesson Anti-white racism are you serious? Nahko is NOT anti 'white', and he isnt racist either. You just have no idea how to comprehend poetry and put a deeper meaning to it and actually put some though into it.

[@Huzar1683]

It is anti-establishment, anti-system and that may seem anti-white to some people but if you take a deeper look into his music and history and what is happening in the world then you will understand where he is coming from.....

[@beethaankful8550]

I think Smith Wesson is saying that he understands that the message is to fight the racism. His choice of words were easily misconstrued. I don't think he meant that Nahko is anti white or racist. Smith understands that that most of the racism was started with white racism. Hence "anti-white racism." Smith did say it was beautiful songwriting.

[@angelachi2079]

Just can't get enough of his words, his voice, his message that lead me to feelings about nature, about the universe, about Source. Yes Randywatchingbush Nahko is a Musical Shaman who takes us to other levels, layers, and worlds. BLESS THE TRUTH TELLERS.

[@gisole98]

I can't listen to this song without crying.

[@Huzar1683]

So many parts to a heavy heart!

[@anthonysilva9132]

I still cry to this song even after months. it's everything to me.

[@strawberryrosemusic7841]

same girl, same. the resonance is so powerful

[@ThePsiregulator]

I showed this song to my mother today

[@EmbraceLifeCoachingAndFitness]

Myself as well. If you see the official video of those as Standing Rock... This will always be one of my many favorites of Nahko and Medicine for the People.

[@clashy9073]

Nahko, you saved my life man. Your music is so uplifting, but true. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Keep bringing your beautiful, truthful, and needed messages to our world. We desperately need them! Much love my brother in peace!

[@morkryan8287]

"Courage is birthed from the womb on the first light of day, Yeah, the day you were born you came out perfect never meant to be torn" Beautiful Line.

[@KevonSimpson]

Dear Angels in heaven, please protect this beautiful soul.

[@SomeoneElse038]

I'll play this for my 2 boys forever

[@daelahcorley7579]

Nahko! I can't get enough medicine. Every song is a miracle.

[@arlenet3036]

[@damienwalch4698]

whenever I'm having a rough go of it I listen to Nahko, and his words and message always make me feel better.

[@phototour831]

Sage wisdom in all of Nahko's lyrics yet this song, in particular, harbors the state of our medicine tribe & all kind people today. Aho! 🐟🎵🎶

[@tyleryuraszeck8410]

I remember seeing Nahko play at the Friendly Gathering, he played this song sitting in the middle of a field with hundreds of people surrounding him. Such a powerful moment, stoked to finally see a recorded version of this song

[@Huzar1683]

Awesome man, im glad you shared that I can imagine that moment, I met him and it changed my life

[@leonardovicente7290]

I really hope that I can met with him sometime, but I don't know if he's coming from Brasil. his message is so powerful and beautiful

[@suredeydo]

Gawd his music keeps getting deeper and more robust with age. I can't let go.

[@NWshuffler]

my history showed me your videos 2 years ago and ever since ive fell in love with the message and good vibes you gave us and the people of this earth thank you nahko

[@jejekoma]

I listen to this 6 times day, I promise.

[@roydusenbury8424]

Have you had a chance to play with Nahko again? I greatly enjoyed the video of the two of you together but I've been waiting patiently for something of higher audio quality. Your voices blend seamlessly.

[@madisonpruitt6959]

+Roy Dusenbury thanks!!!!! we will have another performance together in April!!!!! hopefully I'll get some good quality video of just him and I singing backstage

[@roydusenbury8424]

Where in April? I love your version of Uncle Jo! I enjoyed it immensely and have shared it many times. I love what KZbin and social media has done in offering a platform for artists that you won't hear on the radio. Thank you for your contribution to the movement!!

[@madisonpruitt6959]

+Roy Dusenbury thanks so much! I appreciate it a whole lot❤ we will be performing at the Euphoria festival in Austin Texas. I will also be performing with twiddle. Nahko and I did a version of uncle Jo a few months ago but the video is on his phone, its also like 20 minute long. but yeah!! I have more music on my Facebook page then I do on KZbin sadly

[@roydusenbury8424]

I'm so happy for you and looking forward to the music you will create with your family/tribe! Thanks for your reply. I've been wanting to visit family in the Austin area and this just might be the perfect time. Would love to see you and Twiddle together! Again, thank you!!

[@chelseamoniquemorrisprinci8856]

I feel you Brother!!!!!! Profound APPRECIATION AND LOVE MAN!!!!!

[@tloudah]

I cried because of the beauty of this. 💖

[@emendiola7822]

Fer Herwaaden, when he wrote "so thankful" for us, it was my fave.... and then he wrote this one. His mama is even in love with it!

[@FerDutchman]
