lyrics

There was a boy he came to me
Said I don’t trust you so don’t trust me
what do you mean, what do you mean
He said the fire and the water both talk to me
What do they say, what do they say

The smoke brings spirits the fire told me
And the water said dive into me
And I’ll baptize you in the name of earth and sky

Turns out this boy is more free than me
He don’t seek approval and he don’t people please
He said I march to the beat of my own heart
And the drum keeps in time with my feet
The drum keeps in time with my feet

There was a boy he wanted me to know
Said I was born under April snow
I was born into a storm
And it’s become my home
It’s become my home

There was a boy he came to me
He said I love you do you love me
And I said yes, yes grandson of mine
Yes yes til the end of time

Kokomisinaa should you ever leave
Promise to meet me at the grandmother tree
I promise to be there whenever you need
And drink the water so sweet
Drink the water so sweet

There was a boy from the stars he came
Winter Thunder is my name and I march to the beat
Of my own heart
And the drum keeps in time with my feet
The drum keeps in time with my feet.
