Verse 1
Am
"I'm flying at the speed of my imagination
F
Heading down the #401 towards the Quebec
I'm gonna meet my sisters Lynn
and Tracy for the very first time
And the saliva in my mouth is thick like
motor oil as I sit in the back
seat of the car.
I'm nervous, practicing my smile...
I stare in the rearview mirror silently
mouthing the words"

Verse 3
Am
"I'm on my way to the mystical land of my
missing family Kahnawake
The patch of freedom that lies beneath
the Mercier Bridge
The home of my mother,
my father and my ancestors
The land of shapeshifters, cornbread and steak,
iron workers,
skywalkers proud warriors and all
the legends that came to life in
stories and gossip around the kitchen
tables when I was a little kid"

To a Mohawk man

Verse 5
Am
"I look out between the front, out
through the windshield
and the fog I've
been living in my entire life begins to lift.
I know this place.
In fact I dream't myself here as a kid.
Dreams that were fantastic.
Dreams that took me to times and places
that I always knew were real
I'd fly through the black,
along the shores of the Saint Lawrence
Seaway and come swooping down
these roads on the back of John Lazare,
my grandfather,
sturdy and sure of himself,
not a word spoken but I could hear
him singing as he carried me.
I'd climb down off his shoulders
and walk to the rhythm
of broken chains with all the reserve
dogs barking behind me
I went through the deepest
blues and greens.
The greens of graveyards
and stepping into
the black shadows cast by the great bridge.
In my dreams I was safe surrounded
by the ghosts of my ancestors
In my dreams I was free.
In my dreams I was exactly
Verse 6
where I was supposed to be"
Am
From a Mohawk baby
To a Mohawk man

Yeah car rolls on
The car rolls on
