Naheo - Cree Summer

Sister can I tell you that I get so sad

Like Im grieving for something Ive never had

Sister when Im broken, when youre holding me Its the child whos crying for the woman

Father can I tell you that I know your fear

cause you gave it to me when you brought me here

Father when youre hiding from the light thats inside

Did you know that youre running from the dreamer

Naheo dont lose your indian

Thats what he said

Brother can I tell you that Ive been the same

When I heard all the yelling I played the game

Brother when I leave you I will eat all your tears

And Ill have you inside when I need you

Mother can you see me, see me clear

Too big to fly and too small to fear

When youre shining you can walk on your hands

Dont you cover your smile when youre laughing

Naheo dont lose your indian

Thats what he said

The child who sings the ancient song

On sandias back under the sun

With mocassin feet in kokums shawl

Danking to the heart inside of us all

Lover can I tell you that I get so scared

Like you dont really see me behind your stare

Lover when we are changing

When we are turning inside

Do we heal how we feel

Or do we ride on Naheo dont lose your indian
