Father THUNDERBIRD

Before I knew your name

When I was a child

Your love it lifted me

And made me smile

Before I knew your name

You came to me

Your love it held me up

Your love it set me free

To be who I am, inside

To learn to be your friend, and not hide

I am grateful for who I am

I am grateful for your hand

And I love you, my special friend

Father Thunderbird

Thank you my friend

Before I knew I knew your name

You light it lifted me

On lighting strikes you came

It truly set me free

Before I knew your name

I heard a voice inside

Telling me I'm good

Saying not to hide

To be who I am, inside

To stand in honest truth, and not hide

I am grateful for who I am

I am grateful for your hand

And I love you, my special friend

Father Thunderbird

Thank you my friend

I was lonely

My heart it hurt so bad

I was lost in pain you see

And it truly made me sad

With the lightning strike

And electricity

How you changed my life

And made my heart free

To be who I am, inside

To be your friend, and not hide

I am grateful for who I am

I am grateful you are my friend

And I love you, my special friend

Father Thunderbird

Thank you my friend

And when I walked

In the darkest place

Your love it pulsed my heart

And helped me keep pace

So I would find my way

Back home to you

So I would find my way

To love and be true

To be who I am, inside

Reminding me to be strong, and not hide

I am grateful for who I am

I am grateful for your hand

And I love you, my special friend

Father Thunderbird

Thank you my friend

How grateful I am to know

That I am your kin

How my life was changed

By your holy medicine

And when my soul

Returns to this design

Please find me again

So our hearts can combine

So I can be who I am, inside

Reminding me to take heart, and not hide

I am grateful for who I am

I am grateful you are my friend

And I love you, my special friend

Father Thunderbird

Thank you my bestest friend
