Lyrics:
Lean [Learn] to live
With what’s at hand
In forests, deserts, plains
Near your homeland
Look up in the sky
Wind whispers in the trees
Atop a floating cloud
Echoes to be free
In your body fire bloom
A tremor of springs
Volcano runs in your veins
In the spirit of your pain
But in time you’ll get back
The things that were taken away
This land of make believe
Will be yours again someday
So hold on to your roots
Don’t let them lead you astray
This land of make believe
Will be green again someday
Yeha Noha, Heya Heya
Yeha Noha
How much more
Must the world endure
At the hands of so-called
Civilized society
Seven billion people
Want to be loved
Want to be heard
And demand their identities
Medicine man
Seeks a vision from the sun
The ghost of Geronimo
Lives on through the years
Hear those drums
They’re beating loud
While the Cherokee nation
Cries a trail of tears
But in time you’ll get back
The things that were taken away
This land of make believe
Will be yours again someday
So hold on to your roots
Don’t let them lead you astray
This sacred land of yours
Will be free again someday
Yeha Noha, Heya Heya
Yeha Noha
Yeha Noha: (wishes of happiness and prosperity) Navajo language.
