Sister can i tell you that i get so sad

Like i'm grieving for something 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 hiding from the light that's inside

Did you know that you're running from the dreamer



Naheo don't lose your indian

That's what he said



Brother can i tell you that i've 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 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 shining you can walk on your hands

Don't you cover your smile when you're laughing



Naheo don't lose your indian

That's what he said



The child who sings the ancient song

On sandia's back under the sun

With mocassin feet in kokum's shawl

Danking to the heart inside of us all



Lover can i tell you that i get so scared

Like you don't 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 don't lose your indian
