Saw it in a dream one night
Split the dark like a flash of light
I saw myself in honor dress
With prophecy I said I'm blessed
I saw a cavern in my dream
At the foot of Buffalo Ravine
And it's here that I will prove my bravery
It's here that they will always speak of me
I am white water running
I'm the bravest of the brave
I'm the keeper of the cave
I am white water running
I am white water running
One day you will know my name It will echo on the plain
I am white water running
When the hunters drive the buffalo Many plunder to their deaths below
And I will be the first there at their grave
For I am the keeper of the cave
I am white water running I'm the bravest of the brave
I'm the keeper of the cave I am white water running
I am white water running One day you will know my name
It will echo on the plain I am white water running
So he found and climbed into his cave
Listened for them coming miles away
White water running how he prayed The buffalo came
One by one they fell before his eyes
Fifty more before he
realized The keeper of the cave was crushed inside
And along with the buffalo he died
I am white water running I'm the bravest of the brave
I'm the keeper of the cave I am white water running
I am white water running One day you will know my name
It will echo on the plain I am white water running
