作曲 : Gilkyson, Johnson | |
my name is Yvonne Johnson, my native blood is Cree | |
I’m here to tell the story of the life stolen from me | |
my grandfather’s grandfather was the great war chief | |
Big Bear | |
and Flora my grandmother worked with medicine and | |
prayer | |
my mother’s from Saskatchewan, my dad’s U.S. marine | |
and I was just a half-breed falling somewhere in | |
between | |
raised up in a reckless world of drugs and alcohol | |
the police killed my brother Earl, the only one who | |
cared at all | |
cleft palate split my face in two, my words came soft | |
and spare | |
I lived in shame and ridicule, foundations of despair | |
Daniel let the kids all watch when I was oly three | |
he threw me on the table, forced himself inside me | |
my brother Leon learned from him what I learned not to | |
tell | |
cause when my daddy found him then he had his way as | |
well,boys, | |
he took me down as well | |
I didn’t have a language for the pain I suffered | |
through | |
escaping into marriage, but your past just catches up | |
with you | |
until I had three children and a ragged family | |
a desperate urge to keep them from the wolves that got | |

to me, boys, | |
wolves that got to me | |
I wish I could forget that night, the way the cards all | |
fell | |
the deck was stacked against me and I played my part so | |
well | |
three days on the party in a drunken revelry | |
Shirley Ann said Chuck had plans to lure my kids from | |
me | |
I wrapped the cord around him there, they beat him | |
round the head | |
they threw him down the cellar stairs and pulled the | |
cord til he was dead | |
courts set me up to take the fall, I went down silently | |
I’m doing life in prison now for murder first degree, | |
while they got leniency | |
grandmother, grandmother, send your prayers to me | |
protect me and my children, for I love them endlessly | |
creator, creator, I have come alive | |
medicine bear woman, doing life at 35, life at 35 | |
I pray | |
help me to make my amends to those that I have harmed | |
grant them love and peace so they may understand I’m | |
sorry | |
help me share my shame and pain so others they might do | |
the same | |
and so awaken to themselves and to all people of this | |
world | |
hai hai | |
