This was the way of it
Let the story fires be lighted
Let our circle be strong

and full of medicine

Hear me

This is my dream song that
I'm singing for you
This is my power song

that is taking me to
the edge
This is rock medicine

The talking tree
The singing water


Listen
I am dancing underneath you
This was the way of it

It is a river
It is a chant
It is a medicine story

It is what happened long ago
It is a bead in a story belt
It is what has been forgotten

It is the smell of
sweetgrass and cedar


And prayers lifted to sky father
It is a way, a tradition
The way it was always

done by the people
It is a feeling of warmth
The sound of voices


Listen
I am dancing underneath you
