Nakoda Tribe Song Lyrics
8/12/2008

Can't see nothin' in front of me
Can't see nothin' but blue and white
Close my eyes, see the fire
Can't feel nothin' but the bonds that hold me
Lost track of the years that passed,
Years that passed, how far I've come,
Distant echoes of cheers and cries
Take me there as my heart drums...

Feel the heat as it rises
Feel the beat of our hearts ablaze
Feel the memories burnin'
C'mon Owego, These are the days

Came in through at evening
Music ringing filled the air
Up from the field, heard our calling
On wheels of fire we came rollin' up there

Feel the heat as it rises
Feel the beat of our hearts ablaze
Feel the memories burnin'
C'mon Owego, These are the days

Na na na na na na-ko-da
na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na-ko-da
na na na na na na na na na

Instrumental Break-

Brothers all right beside me
Arms linked, teary eyes shining bright
Owegan blood forever binds me
As we stand before the fiery light

Na na na na na na-ko-da
na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na-ko-da
na na na na na na na na na

I see myself by the lakeside
Holding candles on that final night
We sign our picture as one camp
Beneath a sky filled with light
As my brothers stand around me
As I feel their flames mix with mine
As the dream comes to an end
Images dancin' in front of our eyes:

A week engraved with desire
Week of love, a week of tears
Week of glory and passion
Week of dreams, of New Frontiers
Week of memory and ashes
Livin' the moment sparks our souls tonight
Week of spirit and brotherhood
Week of brightness, week full of life

Feel the heat as it rises
Feel the beat of our hearts on fire
Feel the memories burnin'
L-O-C, we're Owegans tonight!
