Do Not Cry

"The Red Man In Me"

Do not cry for this warrior when I am gone
I will be running in fields without fences
I will be drinking water that is not polluted

The strength that I lost here will be found
The flesh and bone lost will return in spirit
I will be young and strong again

Do not cry for this warrior when I am gone
I will be visiting our ancestors
Knowledge lost will be found anew

I will truly learn the ways of the old ones
I will learn the language of our fathers
I will help to prepare a hearth for you

Do not cry for this warrior when I am gone
I will be with our brothers, the winged
Our brothers, the four legged and in the sea

The Great Spirit will guide my steps
My path will be true, I wait for you there
Do not cry for this warrior when I am gone

Remember me in laughter
Remember me in the song of the flute
Remember me in the beat of the drum

Dance for me with all your heart
Fore I will be dancing with you
Look in your heart and I will be there

Do not cry for this Warrior I am still here
In your dreams, your heart and memory
I will see you again

Until then
Until then
