Explanation by the Ku'rahus 



In the eighth stanza the Children answer, giving thanks for the 

 water, the springs, the streams, and the rivers that flow over Mother 

 Earth. Of a truth the Children now know that Mother Earth brings 

 them forth by the power of Tira'wa atius. (I did not sing these last 

 two stanzas loud, for if I had done so they would have brought rain. 

 As it is I think it will rain soon.)
