As we weep The flowers grow From the pain We rise But when anger strikes us We burn WeΒ turn to ash Once we are ash We stay ash
We were told by our mothers That the spirits That the winds that blow against our skin Will one day move through us And take what little of us remains The wind will soar and carry us Across fields and streams and mountains
But the winds have died There are no more tears No fire burns And the flowers don't grow
