Ioway Tribe Song Lyrics

Ioway Song “Blue and White for Life”
Tune: “How to Save a Life” – The Fray

We’re gone
One day
It feels
Too soon
To leave
The leaves fall down
It’s hard to breathe
Owego’s gates they fade from view
But on our mind is white and blue
Look out your window late at night
Wonder how the ground’s so white
Think back to brotherhood and games
Finally realize why we came

Winter is so long
Without our friends
But we move on
Cause Owego won’t end
The bonds we’ve made hold us so tight
It makes us blue and white for life

Melting snow
It tells the time
We come back home
It chills our spine
Finally we breathe again
Brothers give us strength within
When we’re not here it feels so wrong
We can’t describe it in a song
Summertime it heals you
And LOC it reels you in

Here’s where we belong
With all our friends
We’re holding on
We don’t want it to end
The bonds we’ve made hold us so tight
It makes us blue and white for life

Another year has come and gone
But up on stage
Our tribe is forty strong
Tomorrow night we’ll cry away
But we’ll always remember Ioway
Frontier days mean many things
But this summer means everything
Without you we’re just not the same
And finally we realize why we came

Here’s where we belong
With all our friends
We’re holding on
We don’t want it to end
The bonds we’ve made hold us so tight
It makes us blue and white for life

Here’s where we belong
With all our friends
We’re holding on
We don’t want it to end
The bonds we’ve made hold us so tight
It makes us blue and white for life


Blue and White for life

Blue and White for life


Winter is so long
Without our friends
But we move on
Cause Owego won’t end
The bonds we’ve made hold us so tight
It makes us blue and white for life

Blue and White for life


Blue and White for life
