The flash of a fire fly in the night
The breath of a buffalo in the wintertime
The little shadow that runs across the gra**
And loses itself in the sunset
When you were born, you cried, and the world rejoiced your life
Every animal knows more than you do
The old rabbit jumps, when the fox walks lame
A thousand voices tell a single story
Listen, or your tongue will make you deaf
When you die, you can be heard by the lights in the sky, to the end of the earth
The moon is not shamed by the barking of dogs
The old coward shoots with his eyes closed shut
Every bird loves to hear themselves sing
Known for ever by the tracks we leave
When you fight try to forgive, all the broken hands that try to give
Sing a little song flying through the trees
Ghosts in the forest swimming in the sea
Fuel your fire fuel your mind
Bury yourself in the wintertime
When you were born, you cried, and the world rejoiced your life
