lyrics

Hair as black as onyx
Dress like falling rain
Little silver bells
Lips a berry stain

They asked you.
“What is courage?”
You said “A steady gaze
When all the world is
Burning and you want
To look away”

Ordinary people do extraordinary things
Diné Utah homecoming queen

Your papa was an Indian
A stoic Navajo
They took away his language
They couldn’t take his soul

The father
With this dancing
Brings the daughter
Back around

Seems you were his
Savior when he
Saw you take the crown

Ordinary people do extraordinary things
Diné Utah homecoming queen

Shimmer in the limelight
Healing under foot
Dance for those who couldn’t
Dance for those should

They asked you,
“What is honor?”
You said, “A steady beat.
When all the world is silent,
Be the change you want to see”

Ordinary people do extraordinary things
Diné Utah homecoming queen
