Cree Summer - Naheo lyrics

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 moca**in 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
