Onondaga Tribe Song Lyrics
8/8/2007

Onondaga
Better Days

(0:15)
If you ask me what (stressed) I want this year
Just to have another summer here (sum-erhere)
In this place I know ill have my (pause) better days

Cus’ I wont (stressed) be judged by all those things
Like the egos (stressed) that we usually bring
This place gives you a chance for (pause) better days

(0:50)
Chorus:
With every word
I sing out loud
A memory’s made of here and now
On this night I stand with tribesmen and with friends

(1:19)
And this week goes by so suddenly
And no one has time to even see
With each day this camp becomes more (pause) like a home

When you light the fire that burns inside
And you get that feeling filled with pride
Living in the moment where (mo (pause)-ment-where) you want to stay (hard)

(1:53)
Chorus:
With every word
I sing out loud
A memory’s made of here and now
On this night I stand with tribesmen and with friends

(2:31)
I want everyone to love this night
In the midst of this frontier week fight
Onondaga at the heart of (pause) better days

(2:48)
Chorus:
With every word
I sing out loud
A memory’s made of here and now
On this night I stand with tribesmen and with friends

(3:13)
Cus’ after camp the world begins again
