Among His Tribe

[Verse 1]

He would step out of the night

And light a fire among his tribe

Carving from a bear's tooth

He used the flesh to feed the youth

He'd salt it down...



[Verse 2]

Sails were made from darkened hide

Fish were caught in the lowest tide

Thought of war kept him strong

He listened for the battle song

In the night...



[Verse 3]

And the old would teach the young

To heed the word of the master's tongue

A chosen son would take a bride

And light the fire among his tribe

And on and on...
