I Have No Indian Name

Walela


Where was my grandmother
D'you ever let her know
You had a brown-skin daughter
Chose to let her go
Did she drown in dirty water
Was she broken by the snow
When the Jesus people caught her
Like a little crippled crow

I have no Indian name
I have no Indian name
Is the rainbow just a color or the blood inside my veins
I have no Indian name
I have no Indian name
My tears smoke the fire as I stand inside the rain

You forgot to kiss me mama
Did you ever feel a thing
For the one who was my father
Is he the one you blame
For this watered down creation
You never called your own
I cry out to the spirit baby raven all alone

I have no Indian name
I have no Indian name
Is the rainbow just a color or the blood inside my veins
I have no Indian name
I have no Indian name
My tears smoke the fire as I stand inside the rain

I have no Indian name
I have no Indian name
Is the rainbow just a color or the blood inside my veins
I have no Indian name
No, I have no Indian name
My tears smoke the fire as I stand inside the rain

I have no Indian name
I have no Indian name
Is the rainbow just a color or the blood inside my veins
I have no Indian name
Oh, You forgot to kiss me mama
I have no Indian name
I have no Indian name
My tears smoke the fire as I stand inside the rain
