[Verse 1]
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 holdin' 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 hidin' from the light that's inside
Did you know that you're runnin' from the dreamer"
[Refrain]
"Naheo, don't lose your Indian
"Naheo," that's what he said
[Verse 2]
Brother, can I tell you that I been the same
When I heard all the yellin', 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 shinin', you can walk on your hands
Don't you cover your smile when you're laughin'
[Refrain]
"Naheo, don't lose your Indian
"Naheo," that's what he said
"Naheo, don't lose your Indian
"Naheo," that's what he said
[Bridge]
The child who sings the ancient song
On Sandia's back under the sun
With mocassin feet in Kokum's shawl
Dancing to the heart inside of us all
Naheo
Hey, yah, hey, yah, ho
Naheo
[Verse 3]
Lover, can I tell you that I get so scared
Like you don't really see me behind your stare
Lover, when we're changin'
When we're turnin' inside
Do we heal how we feel
Or do we ride on
[Refrain]
"Naheo, don't lose your Indian
"Naheo," that's what he said
"Naheo, don't lose your Indian
"Naheo," that's what he said
[Outro]
[?]
That's what he said

That's what he said

That's what he said
