Into the wild I go
Into the wild I am
It’s been a while, freedom child
Since I left my roots back home

I once tried to run away
Like a wild animal’s prey
Running, hiding, I was riding high into the sunset sky

Heya hey heya hey heya heya heya hey
Heya hey heya hey heya heya heya hey o wey

All my life, all this time
I’ve been a warrior and I know why
I’ve been given the torch of light
To walk in the darkness of the night

Years we fought for this freedom
Years I thought I had wisdom
Now I see with new еyes
From this truth I cannot hide

Heya hеy heya hey heya heya heya hey
Heya hey heya hey heya heya heya hey o wey

I’ve gotta believe I’m here
To make a difference without fear
Of being seen or heard
Like the bird who flies at night
Like the lion, strong and fierce
Like the whale singing
I’d like to be bringing peace
To you, to me, to you, to me

Into the wild I go
Into the wild I am
It’s been a while, freedom child
Since I left my roots back home
Into the wild I’ll go
And into the wild I am
It’s been a while, freedom child…
Since I left my roots back home

The beginning reminds me Stevie Wonder's Pastime Paradise 
This number caught my ear, today must be the first time hearing this one, straight up 8 rating for me. I love hearing music from other cultures,  and I also love Radio Paradise; Long Live RP!!
This is an example of  the prime reason I listen to Radio Paradise.  Where else, other than a First Nations' radio station would I ever hear Shylah Ray Sunshine. 

In Canada we are currently gaining a much greater understanding of our history of the attempts at cultural extinction of our First Nations citizens.  For me music provides a perfect vehicle for broadening our understanding. 

Thank you, Bill and company for introducing this ray of sunshine to help cast a light on a dark corner of our past (and present).  And this is a damn good song, too, in my humble opinion!
Wow! Just going by the write up on her, she seems to be a very determined woman! Being as "headstrong" as she was, at such an early age, isn't something commonly found! I think I'd enjoy knowing her, possibly even having her as a neighbor! And motherhood seems to have done well by her....she seems to have a "glow" about her! Thanks, William and crew, for adding this artist to the playlist! A refreshing change from the usual!
