about

based on an interview with Alana LittleBird/Mni Wicozani Yuha Win
dedicated with gratitude to Alana and her children.

lyrics

when I was a child
I lived with my suitcase by the door
I don't live like that anymore
my roots are growing

ever since I was young
I wanted to know where I came from
I wanted to know who I am
where I belong

I've carried water and I carry my scars
but tonight I walk the healing road
beneath a sky of stars

on the healing road...

at my first pow wow
I could feel the drum
my beating heart within me
alive and young

I was full of power
and something like love
I learned to move with rhythm
and felt the warmth of the sun

I've known trouble
and freefalls in the night
but I'm coming home on the healing road
one step at a time

on the healing road...

Oh my children
let's give thanks beneath the stars
the prairie wind is warm tonight
and from these hillsides
you can see so far
I never dreamed such a sight

on the healing road...
