Steady As the Beating Drum Chorus - Pocahontas

[Refrain: NATIVES]
Hega hega ya-hi-ye-hega
Ya-hi-ye-ne-he hega
Hega hega ya-hi-ye-hega
Ya-hi-ye-ne-he hega

[Chorus: NATIVES]
Steady as the beating drum
Singing to the cedar flute
Seasons go and seasons come
Bring the corn and bear the fruit

[Verse 1: NATIVES]
By the waters sweet and clean
Where the mighty sturgeon lives
Plant the squash and reap the bean
All the earth our mother gives

[Verse 2: NATIVES]
O Great Spirit, hear our song
Help us keep the ancient ways
Keep the sacred fire strong
Walk in balance all our days

[Chorus: NATIVES]
Seasons go and seasons come
Steady as the beating drum
Plum to seed to bud to plum (Hega hega ya-hi-ye hega)
Steady as the beating drum
