[Intro]
Ningikendaan, maano, ode’ nindanokii.
(I know, my heart is working.)
Every spirit breaks before it grows again.
Every tear that falls is a seed in the wind.

[Verse 1]
I walked the forest where our memories fade,
Heard your voice in the pine trees’ sway.
The water reflected what I couldn’t say,
Broken hearts need time to find their way.

My soul been cracked like winter ice,
But thaw comes slow beneath the sunrise.
I hold the drum, I hear the beat,
It’s the earth reminding me, I’m still complete.


[Pre-Chorus]
They say mino bimaadiziwin, live the good life true,
But healing takes courage, and time takes you.
Each scar’s a story, each wound a song,
The spirit remembers how to move along.

[Chorus]
Broken hearts need time to heal,
Let the river wash what you feel.
Cry it out beneath the moon’s soft glow,
The Creator hears the pain you show.
Broken hearts need time to mend,
Let your tears become your friend.
In the silence of the night,
Your spirit learns to fight.

[Verse 2]
She left me standing by the sacred fire,
Smoke rising up like my old desires.
I prayed for peace, I prayed for grace,
But healing don’t come fast in this place.

I looked to the stars, saw the ancestors’ eyes,
They whispered softly, “boy, don’t hide.”
Pain is the teacher, love is the test,
Even the eagle must fall from the nest.

[Bridge]
Aaniin, nindinawemaaganidog, my relatives, my kin,
We’ve all known loss, we’ve all known sin.
But bimaadiziwin means to rise again,
To walk in balance, to trust the wind.

Take your drum, your voice, your song,
The heart beats slow, but it beats strong.
The path is long, but it’s still real,
Broken hearts… need time to heal.

[Chorus]
Broken hearts need time to heal,
Let the thunder drums reveal.
Every storm, every cry,
Brings the spirit back to sky.
Broken hearts need time to mend,
Even warriors bend.
Let the sunrise kiss your scars,
You were made for brighter stars.

[Breakdown]
Gizaagi’in, I love you.
Gimiigwech, thank you for the pain.
It taught me what love can lose,
And what strength can gain.

[Outro]
Ode’ nindoonji, heart of mine,
You will dance again in time.
From ashes to rain, from silence to song,
The spirit heals, it don’t stay wrong.

Broken hearts need time to heal,
Let the earth remind what’s real.
Mii sa go, and so it is.
