Oochigeas (indian Song) Lyrics - Voisine Roch

Here's a story I've been told 

About a child of 12 yeard old 

Breathing life to young trees falling 

Before the barbed wire on the plain 

Before the white man ever came 

She must've saved 10 000 souls 

She was the keeper of the young 

The ones whose lives have just begun 

The ones to die their song unsung. 

Oochigeas 

Oochigeas 

The story tells of how she cried 

The day the wind blew high the fire 

Left her burned but still undompted 

Across the lake lived the magic team 

Who set a task for malicete 

To find the special girl he wanted 

When all the village girls had tried 

To win his heart to be his bride 

Oochi would not be denied 

Oochigeas 

Oochigeas 

Here's a story I've been told 

About a child of 12 years old 

Breathing life to young trees falling 

Not as simple as it seemed 

She had to see the one unseen 

She had to cast away the lies 

With courage Oochigeas tried 

Forgot the pain forgot the cries 

And thus she kept the dream alive 

Oochigeas 

Oochigeas
