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
