Jamie, Where'd you run off to now?
Jamie, eldest child of mine
Jamie, the sweetest song I'll write

and I know it won't be easy
when I'm gone
and you can't just come with me..

And in a breath it will seem
like lifetimes unbounded
though nothing has changed
and the room has gone silent
I sit here alone
In the sound of my crying
Screaming your name
until the sky turns to violet
I do believe that I knew you better
and I do not see that as you do
but what do we know?
Because words mean nothing
So how would the heart know any better?
And I know you're listening
I know you hear every word that I say
I know you're listening
I know you hear every word that I say
and you know that I will always be around
(I'll be there if I'm not here, and I'll be here if I'm not there)

and I know it hurts to move on
but you've got to keep giving
because this life of ours
is a life that's worth living
it's the gift that we're given
but know in the end
that the door will unlock
and we'll begin again
and the life that you make here
is the key to the places
you know as your loved ones
and familiar faces
so take real good care of it
and live in your heart
it's your actions that speak
that's the way we were taught

I know you're listening
I know you hear every word that I say
and you know that means the world to me
as I stand facing that way
(your Grandfather stands there, facing this way)
(Hau, Tunkasida! Was'te Yedo)

To walk and to live peacefully
that's the way we were taught

And I'll always be around..

But I still sit weeping alone,
as our family is torn down
Was drawn out of nothing
and built up from the ground
We survived through the time
when darkness was all that we
knew in our hearts when
the night came to fall..
Now it's come to this point and
you're just giving up?
Well you know that your Mama
didn't raise you for nothing..
She gave you the world
and she gave the world meaning
Just know that I'm with you
(not just when you're dreaming)

I know you're waiting and waiting
and it never does come back
but I learned the song that
Will give us our love back
and you know I'll sing it
When the Spirits come listen
In divine alignment
to grant all our wishes
but those
words don't mean nothing
if not for your heart

It's your actions that speak
That's the way we were taught

and she said,
"Well, my son.. That's some fine work you've done.
and I know this well, because I taught you myself."

and he said,
"Well, my son.. That's some fine work you've done.
and I know this well, because I taught you myself."
