Cree Summer - Naheo Lyrics

Sister can I tell you that I get so sad
Like I'm grievin' for somethin' I've never had
Sister when I'm broken, when you're holding me
It's the child who's 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 you're hidin' from the light that's inside
Did you know that you're runnin' from the dreamer

Naheo don't lose your Indian
Naheo, that's what he said

Brother can I tell you that I've been the same
When I heard all the yellin' I played the game
Brother when I leave you, I will eat all your tears
And I'll 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 you're shinin' you can walk on your hands
Don't you cover your smile when you're laughin'

Naheo don't lose your Indian
Naheo, that's what he said
Naheo don't lose your Indian
Naheo

The child who sings the ancient song
On Sandia's back under the sun
Mocassin feet in kokum's shawl
Dancin' to the heart inside of us all

Naheo, hey ya, hey ya, ho
Naheo

Lover can I tell you that I get so scared
Like you don't really see me behind your stare
Lover when we are changin', when we are turnin' inside
Do we heal how we feel or do we ride on

Naheo don't lose your Indian
Naheo, that's what he said
Naheo don't lose your Indian
Naheo, that's what he said
