Fire Won't Die

I turned my back on the ways of the old

My spirit's been frozen left out in the cold

Come back to me, run as fast as you can

While I slowly choke on the new medicine

The fire won't die

Breathe in the smudge try to cleanse off the day

But I feel the sting of the faces they make

You say you do, but you don't understand

All of the things that had my mom and dad

The fire won't die

That's what I heard from my father

That's what they said to my daughter

As long as the river runs the fire won't die

That's what I'll say as a father

Here we are now, yes we have arrived

All my relations the light in their eyes

Write a new chapter and sing a new song

History tells us where we belong

The fire won't die
