Frozen Tears

White capped mountains look over our plains and winters freeze

Treaded from the south to the north a trail colder for our warriors

No more, we go empty handed, no food, no means, but the spirit leads

Native hearts that believe in the lands be free

Many lost, many starved but too many lay behind

Indian Chief they call me, now I sit down in these cold valleys

Bitten by the enemy's frostbite, no longer I struggle, I am humble

For my father of the earth and sky be with me as

I close my eyes and cross my arms, my feet

My breath exhausts my bodies heat, as the cold hits my face

Tears fall down my cheeks now too become frozen in time

As I sit here calmly, quietly, I hear the snowfall from the trees

Now I fall into a deep, deep sleep and all memories I keep

My brave faith has won, this now my victory, I sacrifice as I freeze

No longer hungry for I have found my time to die with pride, I do not hide

These furs around me, leather hides, pelts of strength they will be with me by and by

Now I fall deeper and deeper to sleep like the snow covered mountains it keeps me safe

My spirit free it flies and released into the native lands as my tears are now frozen

I hunger no more
