Deep in time a hunt took place  That made a boy a man  A song was sung to celebrate  And welcome each new hand  The story of a Shamaya  The song that brings to life  The hunt that each boy had to face  The hunt of joy or strife  And he knows, there he goes  Shamaya, shamaya  So they pedal down the waters edge  A journey of first rites  His trembling hands are clenching tight  Excitement in his eyes  The old man starts to tell him  Of a journeyjust like this  When forty years before he'd lost himself  In this same myth  And the boy became a man  Shamaya, Shamaya  He hunts with such a vengeance  The passion turns to pride  The hunt no longer born of need  But fueled by his desire  Shamaya's not a myth he learns  It's a parable of life  So when you know your needs too great  You should put out the fire  And journey on, journey on  Shamaya, Shamaya
