? Dedicated to the people of U.S. Army PFC Lori Piestewa ?
We hear the wind blowing. It brings us your name.
We?ll keep the fire going. You?re finding your way.
We?re hearing the pounding, the beating of war.
We?re sending our people. We?ve heard this before.
Heye, heyehyee, heyeh, heyeh
Chorus
Snow is falling. Our hearts are almost broken.
We?ve been calling and Spirit Wind has spoken.
It?s coming down and we?ll take this fine token
Of you coming home to your own.
We hear the wind blowing. It brings a new name.
It tells us that Freedom is making her way.
Heye, heyehyee, heyeh, heyeh.
Snow is falling. Our hearts are almost broken.
We?ve been calling and Spirit Wind has spoken.
It?s coming down and we?ll take this fine token
Of you coming home to your own.
We?ll fly up higher that eagles. Our hearts will shine like the sun.
We?ll spread our arms out to greet you as you fall to the ground,
little one.
Snow is falling. Our hearts are almost broken.
We?ve been calling and Spirit Wind has spoken.
It?s coming down?(full Chorus)
