Oh Grandfather, how would you want me to live?
Does my name mean more than I think, or is this all it is?
Is your shadow waiting here, for me to return?
Are you holding out to see, what all I have learned?
And I'll leave this, over and over again
And I'm speechless, as the plane, it takes off in the wind
And these trails are winding, binding me straight to my heart
I know you're somewhere, floating around the North Star
Oh Grandmother, how would you like me to speak?
Saying, "It's not where we have gone, but where we we're released"
Well your love has flowed like rivers so
And your streams have touched more than you'll know, I know.
And i'll leave this, over and over again
And I'm speechless, as your spirit flies off in the wind
And these trails are winding, binding me straight to my heart
I can see you somewhere, floating around the North Star
And I'll leave this, over and over again
I am speechless, as my heart, it is taken with the wind
And these trails are winding, binding me straight to my heart
I can feel you somewhere, floating around the North Star
Ashes to ashes, we all fall down.
And we walk on this Earth, spread our ashes around
