This was the way of it   Let the story fires be lighted   Let our circle be strong and full of medicine      Hear me   This is my dream song that I'm singing for you   This is my power song that is taking me to the edge   This is rock medicine   The talking tree   The singing water      Listen   I am dancing underneath you   This was the way of it   It is a river   It is a chant   It is a medicine story   It is what happened long ago   It is a bead in a story belt   It is what has been forgotten   It is the smell of sweetgrass and cedar      And prayers lifted to sky father   It is a way, a tradition   The way it was always done by the people   It is a feeling of warmth   The sound of voices      Listen   I am dancing underneath you
