Ronny Skyland Windtalker Lyrics


Windtalker by Ronny Skyland

Hey, I am a Windtalkin' man from a Navajo clan
And a dark wind's blowin' now
Hey, I heard an eagle scream in a warrior's dream
And a war drum's sounding loud

I'm leavin' here today, our Nation's callin' me away
To speak our Native tongue in a foreign land
I'm leavin' here today, my Nation's callin' me away
From the Arizona desert, to Iwo Jima sands

Hey-Hey Windtalkin' man save us if you can
From the people of the rising sun
Hey-Hey Windtalkin' man remember if you can
That you're fighting for us one and all

Hey-Hey when the Navajo dance hidden in our chants
Are the Coyote, Hawk and Bear
Hey-Hey from the fire and smoke rising in our soul
Comes the Code driftin' through the air

I'm leavin' here today, our Nation's callin' me away
To speak our Native tongue in a foreign land
I'm leavin' here today, my Nation's callin' me away
From the Arizona desert, to Iwo Jima sands

Hey-Hey Windtalkin' man save us if you can
From the people of the rising sun
Hey-Hey Windtalkin' man remember if you can
That you're fighting for us one and all

This Navajo soldier marched with American troops
Wore out the souls of his military boots
From the feet, all the way to indigenous souls
Made the mission complete
Because of them we avoided defeat
So this calamity would never repeat; repeat!
Peace through an ancient chant
A language that was unique to his speech
It protected our camp
World War 2 our future seemed to grow darker
But we were all saved by the way of the Code Talker

Hey-Hey Windtalkin' man save us if you can
From the people of the rising sun
Hey-Hey Windtalkin' man remember if you can
That you're fighting for us one and all

Code Talker...
Navajo Code Talker...
