Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Steady as the beating drum

Singing to the cedar flute

Seasons go and seasons come

Bring the corn and bear the fruit

[Verse 2]

By the water sweet and clean

Where the mighty sturgeon lives

Plant the squash and reap the bean

All the earth, our mother, gives

[Verse 3]

Oh, Great Spirit, hear our song

Help us keep the ancient ways

Keep the sacred fire strong

Walk in balance all our days

[Verse 4]

Seasons go and seasons come

Steady as the beating drum

Plum to seed to bud to plum

Steady as the beating drum
