Steady As The Beating Drum

 
Vocals:Chorus 
Music: Alan Menken Lyrics: Stephen Schwartz 
 
Native Americans: Hega hega ya-hi-ye-hega Ya-hi-ye-ne-he hega 
	Hega hega ya-hi-ye-hega 
	Ya-hi-ye-ne-he hega 
	Steady as the beating drum
	Singing to the cedar flute
 	Seasons go and seasons come 
	Bring the corn and bear the fruit 

By the waters sweet and clean 
Where the mighty sturgeon lives 
Plant the squash and reap the bean 
All the earth our mother gives
 	
	O Great Spirit, hear our song 
	Help us keep the ancient ways 
	Keep the sacred fire strong 
	Walk in balance all our days 
	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 

Hega hega ya-hi-ye-hega Ya-hi-ye-ne-he hega
