    He and my hero, he and my love
    High on a hill side, heaven above
    Take me to higher love, you fly away
    Me and my hero, me and my love

    He gotta fight for war, freedom to save
    He gotta fight for love, far away
    Me and my warrior, me and my babe

    Hey-um ah hey-ah mama hey-ah mama
    Ya-hay ah mia, hey-ah mama (wa-hey)
    The spirit of the hawk

    My people, some of them have run away to the hills and have no shelter (wa-hey)
    No food, no one knows where they are
    Hear me my chiefs, I am tired (wa-hey)
    My heart is sick and sad, I will fight no more

    Hey-um ah hey-ah mama hey-ah mama
    Ya-hay ah mia oh wa-hey
    The spirit of the hawk
    Hey-um ah hey-ah mama hey-ah mama
    Ya-hay ah mia oh wa-hey
    The spirit of the hawk
    Hey-um ah hey-ah mama hey-ah mama
    Ya-hay ah mia hey-ah mama
    The spirit of the hawk
    Hey-um ah hey-ah mama hey-ah mama
    Ya-hay ah mia oh wa-hey
