Flames from the heart the glow of a night's fire
The touch under my ribs of fluttering wings
Hope like lights in the night sky
A vision to smile by
In darkness the fight is to be won
Now the Sun is soon to rise
A new day comes, may it shine

Listen, my friends it talks, listen
The dead cedar's voice unleashed
Patience is not a waste of life
Endurance may bring sight
A vision of a time once dreamed
If you search that which speaks
And prepare your hands to climb

Follow the black bear, feel the ride
Climb the cedar, above each branch rise
Reaching the thunderbird
A soul on its back
Desire's aim to fly away
It's time to soar

Reach for the stars, reach for the high
But higher the climb, farther the fall
So grip tightly
Black bear leads, all aboard
The thunderbird calls

The thunderbird calls

No more hopes of mere dreams
Nor painted wings, or eyes that never sleep

Follow the black bear, feel the ride
Climb the cedar, above each branch rise
Reaching the thunderbird
A soul on its back
Desire's aim to fly away
It's time to soar

Darkest ocean challenged
Heart headed for the deepest dive
Chase through endless plains
Losing balance as the cedar shakes

Below the wolves are drooling
Careless fool's footing earns
Your dream denied

Beware, for some poets lie
Behold your time to live, your time to die

Perfect blossom
Abundant harvest
Birth of a new child and the start of new life
Swim through the tall grass
Surf through the sky
Resting on the hope
Of travels soon to come
