THE STORY OF...

The story of life is a blink of an eye
The story of love is hello and goodbye
Until we meet again, until we meet again
The story of life is a blink of an eye
The story of love is hello and goodbye
Until we meet again, until we meet again

You taught me to live and taught me to fly straight
Love you gave, nobody will ever take
Away from me because I learned from you, see
Never turn from a friend or enemy
Hold my head high, have a clear mind
Walk the line of those who lived right
Though at times, it hurts to be headstrong
You might have been mad at me when I did wrong
But you always stand by the Saint’s side
Watch my back from high in the sky
And I cry and cry cuz I couldn’t understand why
You had to die without hello or goodbye
From me had who given you so much love
Hear the prayers and thanks I send above
You’re the brother who taught this one to win
Feel the love within ‘til we meet again

The story of life is a blink of an eye
The story of love is hello and goodbye
Until we meet again, until we meet again
The story of life is a blink of an eye
The story of love is hello and goodbye
Until we meet again, until we meet again


So many folks we lose to the booze, G
Why must the indian take that first drink?
All of my uncles were veterans, man
Warriors in war time live with the pain, they
Took the bottle down to a thin line
Family cries and I hope that they feel my
Anger, madness of my people on the brink
Red power drowned with the first drink
Warriors sink in an ocean of tears
A future left in the past is what I fear
And in my eyes, I seen my folks cry
For so many indians who wanted to get high
In an alcohol haze many reds paid
Sellin’ their souls to the drug and the drink, eh
So many reds don’t know when to say when
Until then, be strong ‘til we meet again

The story of life is a blink of an eye
The story of love is hello and goodbye
Until we meet again, until we meet again
The story of life is a blink of an eye
The story of love is hello and goodbye
Until we meet again, until we meet again


All my relations live for the day
Some get taken, some just fade away
Some fold on a darkened highway
Some lose hard to a life of gunplay
So I pray everyday for the souls passed
Those in Heaven who walked on the red path
Look up high, look to the red sky
See the horizon and see how the stars shine
Souls of my fam past shine within me
Family blood in the tribes run eternally
So I’ll honor the line and remain real
Livin’ a warrior life is a done deal
And I will live on to my full-term
This renegade got a grip of things to learn
Peace to the woman, peace to the red man
Peace to my family past until we meet again

The story of life is a blink of an eye
The story of love is hello and goodbye
Until we meet again, until we meet again
The story of life is a blink of an eye
The story of love is hello and goodbye
Until we meet again, until we meet again
