As I sit by my mountain top’s edge
Watching all across the horizon yonder
Being wary and cautious of this ledge
Absorbing the beauty of all this nature
Reaching out to my ancestors of ago
Speaking silently from mine heart to you
Comfort me and hold me, you must know
Fearing of life’s unknown adventures too
Grandfather, grandmother, I cry so much
How can I keep your strength inside me?
I fear I am losing reality’s living touch
Help me please, grandparents, hear my plea
You have walked these roads many times
You have crossed many barriers of life
I know you have also seen better climes
Ah, comfort me grandparents, in my strife
These mountain breezes carry away my tears
Take them please and know I have come
I am here; take away my never ending fears
My heart beats for you like our Kiowa drum
Lead me to the way I need to go, grandfather
Lead me to the way I need to go, grandmother
Lead me to the way I need to go…
