Meadow Lark's Voice
Written to my Cherokee mother:
Meadow Lark's voice is so soft and so sweet
She's a Cherokee woman and won't accept defeat
At Meadow Lark's voice the birds will listen still
As her gentle voice carries around and over the hills
She cares for all creatures both human and beast
Meadow Lark's voice is so soft and so sweet
Meadow Lark's voice is so soft and so sweet
As she hurries along and does her good deeds
She makes Indian medicine for all the new borns
And everyone states that she inherited her charms
She's a spiritual healer to all both great and small
She gives them faith to be brave and help to stand tall
She whispers in ears of battles soon to be fought
and reminds them that they should not accept loss
Meadow Lark's voice is soft and so sweet
But listen closely and don't be deceived
For this voice is so strong even the wind will say
Listen to her and you will know how to be brave
