Oh, in my dream, in my deepest dream
A blurry face of an angle, of my unborn child
A blue piece of sky in his eyes
Like my father's, like my Grandpa's
Like my father's, like my Grandpa's
Like my father's, like my Grandpa's eyes…
Oh, And in my dreams I'm a mother
And I teach him how to sing and I teach him how to dance
A wide smile on his face,
Like my mother's, like my grandma's
Like my mother's, like my grandma's
Like my mother's, like my grandma's smile…
The mountains will call his name,
The wolves will hug and the birds will sing
And you my love and you're strong, strong hands
Will give protection, teach him wisdom
He'll have your teeth, he'll have your nose
Your toes your bones your voice
He'll have my hair, he'll have my skin
He'll learn to play my songs
