Osiyo Oginali
Osiyo Oginali
Verse
Osiyo cousin you walked in from the west
The drum circle widens and nobody asks who you are
Dawn on the ridge and the smoke goes thin
I lay my palm where the cedar was scarred
Pre-Chorus
Burning Bear my grandfathers called him
Burning Bear with a voice like low thunder
Burning Bear keep the fire from going under
Chorus
Wado wado for the ones who carried me
Wado wado for the ones who stayed
Wado wado for the ones who carried me
Adawehi line will never fade
Post-Chorus
Hey-ya hey-ya
Hey-ya ho
Verse
They took the land and they renamed the river
They burned the books but they missed a few
My auntie hums what her auntie handed down
Seven generations deep in the bone
Pre-Chorus
Burning Bear my grandfathers called him
Burning Bear with a voice like low thunder
Burning Bear keep the fire from going under
Chorus
Wado wado for the ones who carried me
Wado wado for the ones who stayed
Wado wado for the ones who carried me
Adawehi line will never fade
Post-Chorus
Hey-ya hey-ya
Hey-ya ho
Bridge
What you know about Cherokee
What you know about the long walk home
What you know about a bear in the winter
What you know about a name they can't unmake
Breakdown
Osiyo Oginali
Osiyo Oginali
Wado
Wado
Chorus
Wado wado for the ones who carried me
Wado wado for the ones who stayed
Wado wado for the ones who carried me
Adawehi line will never fade
Post-Chorus
Hey-ya hey-ya
Hey-ya ho
Outro
Hey-ya hey-ya
Wado
