Up on South Mountain at sunrise, lights out, drum beating in my heart.
Young Spirit laying down real medicine with โIโm Right Hereโ:
โDry your eyes, pretty girls shouldnโt ever have to cry
If you need me Iโm right here,
to kiss away each and every single tearโ
This isnโt just young men singing to pretty girls โ itโs the men whoโve drummed together their whole lives, promising protection in ceremony. Stoic warriors rarely speaking these emotions aloud, but living them around the drum. The women hear their husbands, fathers, grandfathers in that high Cree harmony โ a vow, a way of life.
Support these brothers carrying the fire forward. ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ชถ
