Father, did you see my boat on the river?
Did you ever think I’d come this far?
When you think of me as a man
Do you see me crawl or shine bright like a star?
Mother did you see me dive in the river?
Did you ever think I’d be as brave?
When you think of me as a man
Do you see me fall or flow free like a wave?
Ah…
Sister, don’t you cry when we part our ways
Did you ever think you’d hold you own?
Reach out to the woman within
Toss aside pale skin, find a strength of a stone, of a stone
Ah…
Take my soul into your heart
You and I will reach the sea
No more restraint, and no more strife
You and I will be free
Ah…
