Nanabush Lyrics by Michael Jacobs (Cherokee)

They Come Dancing

2004

[Verse 1]
So wise and clever
Generous and kind
Bringing many good gifts
Healing bodies, hearts, and minds
[Verse 2]
With power and in beauty
Blessing in the words you speak
Child of Gitchimanitou
Teaching kindness, truth, and peace
[Chorus]
O Nanabush, O Nanabush, O Nanabush, Hey Nanabush
O Nanabush, O Nanabush, Hey Nanabush, Hey Nanabush
[Verse 3]
So proud and stubborn
And foolish as a thief
Bringing pain and suffering
With your selfish ways and greed
[Verse 4]
Impetuous, deceitful
Cursing with the words you speak
Wild and restless west wind
You will never, never find peace
[Chorus]
O Nanabush, O Nanabush, O Nanabush, Hey Nanabush
O Nanabush, O Nanabush, Hey Nanabush, Hey Nanabush
[Bridge]
Oh, the truth comes with two faces
One's a hero and one's a fool
But the two are really one face
And they look like me and you
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 5]
Triumph and tragedy
The glory and the shame
Nanabush I know you well
'Cause your face and mine
They are the same
They're the same
[Chorus]
O Nanabush, O Nanabush, O Nanabush, Hey Nanabush
O Nanabush, O Nanabush, Hey Nanabush, Hey Nanabush
O Nanabush, O Nanabush, O Nanabush, Hey Nanabush
O Nanabush, O Nanabush, Hey Nanabush, Hey Nanabush
[Outro]
O Nanabush, Hey Nanabush
