Buffy Sainte Marie - Ke Sakihitin Awasis I Love You Baby Lyrics

He's not like a stranger he's more like a vision
you'd seen
The kind of a face that you'd see on the edge of a dream
he was beaded and feathered
from his head to his moccasined feet
and now you're singing

Ke sakihetin awasis

He reminds you of a legend that you had known as a child
He knew it too it was about Earth and about Sun
and about Sky
Oh it was about Wolf and Coyote and Eagle
and Kitchimanitou**
and Wakontanka***

Ke sakihetin awasis

On some reservation your purification's begun
It's the fifth generation the young and the old are as one
Singing come back to the Sweetgrass
come back to the Pipe and the Drum
and be your future

Ke sakihetin awasis

*Ke sakihitin awasis means I love you Baby in Cree
**Kitchimanitou means Great Spirit in Cree
***Wakontanka means Great Spirit in Lakota
