Rita Joe
I lost my talk
I lost my talk The talk you took away When I was a little girl At Shubenacadie school
You snatched it away: I speak like you I think like you I create like you The scrambled ballad, about my word.
Two ways I talk Both ways I say, Your way is more powerful
So gently I offer my hand and ask, Let me find my talk So I can teach you about me.
