lyrics
I know this man
Who knows me more
It is through my blood
He again walks this Earth
And nears a vision
of showing the World
what Native American
really means
Like a photograph
His image lives in me
I carry His voice,
His trouble, His glee.
His towering persona
Is all that is Me.
When I weep, He cries and comforts
When I triumph, He puffs with pride
He sings, yet I cannot hear
And He dances, yet i cannot see
If only I could hold his hand,
His enormous embracing hand,
And rejoice, together
Under the endless shower
Of twinkling starlight,
Starlight, Starlight
Last night, I saw this star,
This star winked at me, and made me shiver.
Just then, a brisk black breeze
Gave voice to the trees
And the tallest Pine
seemed to lean, and whisper
I know this man
This man, is a younger me.
My father spoke to me.
..And through the whispers
Of the bristles in the trees,
I could hear it clear as day.
He said to me,
Son, there's gonna come
a time and a place, when the world must face
A challenge like never in existence.
The sad thing is, we know who did the bad thing is,
And they're staring in that muddy reflection.
I don't say it just for mine,
but I say it for you and yours' protection.
You got a job on this Earth, you're a part of this world,
And its hard but its worth it.
We're all one human race.
Time to get with the pace,
and start healing
these once beautiful nations.
