1893
I ain’t here to make a big ol’ show
I ain’t here to GET the popular vote,
I just want you to know that I see you I see you,
I see the left overs of you.
I feel you linger in my room,
Took the frame but left the residue
I just want you to know that I see you I see you,
I am the left overs of you
If this was 1893- I bet you wouldn’t be tippin’ your hat to me
I’m here to do it better make it better this time
I’m here to do it better make it better this time
Oh I know it’s time
I know were gunna have to make it right
I feel you lookin’ over my backside
on my shoulder
breathing down my spine
Granddaughter Granddaughter -You better get yourself to some Water
Put your foot in and kick up your skirt –
Dip your toes in you got to be heard
Got to be heard -you got to be heard
Got to be heard –you got to be heard ya ya
Got to be heard - you got to be heard
Don’t you get caught in the belly of the Canyon this time
Don’t you get caught in the belly of the Canyon this time
Long skirt don’t hurt, secret sacred on the mountain side
Constellations now, help me remember this time.
If this was 1893- I bet you wouldn’t be tippin’ your hat to me
I’m here to do it better make it better this time
I’m here to do it better make it better this time
Am I doin’ the right thing
Am I MAKING the WRONG TURN
I know there’s More - Like I’ve been here before
I’ve walked on this land before.
I’ve walkin’ this land I’ve been walkin’ land –
I’ve been walking this land before
Don’t you BE to hard no no,
get yourself to the water side
wont you get yourself to the water side
Don’t you BE to hard no no,
wont you get to the water side
don’t you be to hard
Granddaughter Granddaughter Granddaughter

Grains

Neighbor lady she came along sprinkled grains all through the yard,
so the birdies would come visit and sing along.
I see those clouds their forcing in, but the sun will shine again,
don’t you know that it is right behind them.
I could have chose a better road, I picked the one with the rose and thorn,
puncher my skin so that I can feel again.
Good times are comin’
good times are comin’
Good times are comin’ can’t you hear this tune
Hard times are rollinn’
hard times are rollinn’
Hard times are rollin’ off my back real soon.
Sit at the table or sit outside, hold your tongue or keep your rights
What makes Water, what makes Water less than human life?
Good times are comin’
good times are comin’
Good times are comin’ can’t you hear this tune
Hard times are rollinn’
hard times are rollinn’
Hard times are rollin’ off my back real soon.
Wild rice and sacred seeds
pains the grains and spoils my streams
what makes Water what makes Water less than human life.

Unity

Raw like the honey to the bees. Clarity is hitting me.
Hot sun on my neck
with the cool breeze. Comb
the nectar till I hit my knees,
I ain’t got time ain’t no room to complain
Got to get up get up and change it
Wont you try and rearrange it,
nothing goods gone come without unity. Nothing goods gone come without unity.
Big tree smiling at the axe,
standin’ tall you ain’t got a chance
Nothing you do’s gonna’ cut me down, I believe in you we on the same ground
I’m reflecting, reflection of you
Said I’m reflecting, reflection of you
Got to get up get up and change it
Won’t you try and rearrange it,
nothing goods gone come without unity, Mm hmm Mm Got to get up get up and change it
Oh Wont you try and rearrange it,
nothing goods gone be without unity
Nothing goods gone be without unity
The music that moves ya
The colors that sooth ya
The music that moves ya
The colors that sooth ya
The music that moves ya
The colors that sooth ya
Mmmm mmmm mmm…M
Working man throws in a dime
Hopes his family dreams do fly
Never give up on the hard times
Lights gonna’ shine even on both sides. I ain’t got no time ain’t got no time. I ain’t got time ain’t no time to complain
Got to get up get up and change it
Won’t you try and rearrange it,
nothing goods gone come without unity, Mm hmm Mm
Got to get up get up and change it
Oh Wont you try and rearrange it,
Nothing goods gone be without unity
Nothing goods gone be without unity
Nothing goods gone be….

Rebel King

We all need, need each other.
We all need , need each other.
We don’t need no trouble.
I must be a rebel to the devil king. Rebel to the devil king
These men think they’re slippin’ away from this karma game
Sneaking like a thief in the night.
Then might take, life from angels who might
Spread the good word, to any one who wants to learn
I said, I see your past is gettin’ the best
of all the good you can do
But you got to keep on movin’
I, Got to keep on movin’
I got to keep on groovin’ instead
I Got to keep on movin’
I got to keep on groovin’ instead
Give a little take a little ah-huh
Give a little take a little ah-huh
Love will cast a spell at last, to keep us together
despite the stormy weather
They may try to make or break your pride
but what they do not know
is their just playing an ego show.
I said, I see your past is gettin’ the best
of all the good you can do
But you got to keep on movin’
I, Got to keep on movin’
I got to keep on groovin’ instead
I Got to keep on movin’
I got to keep on groovin’ instead
Give a little take a little ah-huh
Give a little take a little ah-huh
Give a little take a little ah-huh
Give a little take a little ah-huh

Found a Dime
04:06

Avoiding conflict like it’s out of style.
You just ain’t ready for a woman child.
Started counting mountains, I would climb.
Fixin’ our worlds to be
Intertwined.
Obsession messing with my forward strides
Caught up in your style and in your smile
Hate to break it to ya, can’t just build it self no
Got to crack these eggs to make them well
The worlds been cryin’ for the rain to fall
Given more than you needed, would you keep it all?
Color my life,
don’t you know we
could break these lines?
You and I,
Stop the fight between the black and white
I’m just a tiny dust ball under your bed, got ahead found a dime in your penny bag. Like a poor boy who got thirty-five cents, just enough no more and no less. I think I should think we should think this through but ooo boy you know that I’m digging you. Something so natural, and physical and magical like we had been here before, before.
Color my life,
don’t you know we
could break these lines?
You and I,
Stop the fight between the black and white
Matchless couple, searching for rhyme.
Melodic story, no sense in time.
Now I could of waited for the moment in prime,
Inpatient me, couldn’t wait to see if this was worth my time.

Stand in Your POwer

They had called me a sheep of this land
but I am no lamb to your plan
I will walk to the edge and stand
I prefer to stand in my silence
turn violence to embers of burning
these blessings into dance
Nanã she is the grandma of swamps
in the forest holds space for the forces
turning lamenting into man
I see you in the darkened woods young man
do not let the media tell you
what you could and should and wouldn’t
Stand in your power
young man
Stand in your power
young man
Meu cantar
Vibram as forças de susten a sua vivir
Oh my song it is vibrations for the
Leaders in us all
I am grandma grandmamma aye
I am grandma grandmamma aye
Sou de nanã ewa ewa ewa é
Sou de nanã ewa ewa ewa é
Stand in your power
Stand in Your Power

To The Moon

To the Moon
Collect your worth at the door,
leave your boundaries at the porch.
Like the moon I gotta’ run
around my world and back like my sun.
I don’t care, I won’t fear, I can’t fear
I can’t stop till my wings touch the moon.
The moon.
The reflection of you it proves
that my sky is in tune.
Like a fool who
struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more.
Heard no more
I Got to reach for something more,
Spill out naked on the floor.
Even my house don’t feel like home
I got to go don’t care if I roam.
I don’t care, I won’t fear I can’t fear
I can’t stop till my wings touch the moon.
The moon.
The reflection of you it proves
that my sky is in tune.
Like a fool who
struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more.
Heard no more
If life is but a shadow walking
You know it ain’t signifying nothing.
This place is full of sound and furry
I got to go Remembering
Remember –remember-remember
I won’t fear, I can’t fear, I don’t fear
I can’t stop till my wings touch the moon.
The moon.
The reflection of you it proves
that my sky is in tune.
Like a fool who
struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more.

Stone Relatives
04:21

Relatives so long ago
Sat by this same pond
and prayed by the same stone and
Relatives of the sky
Shined down on the watered ones
So they could come home again
So they could fallow they’d fallow
Fallow they’d fallow the stars
So they could come home again
Their callin’ their callin’,
callin’ their callin’, on you
And they are callin’ their callin’,
callin’ their callin’ on me
Callin’ their callin on We.
If I had just half the strength they did
No wall or dam could stop me or my kin
They survived for my life
Said “sweet child, won’t you forgive again”
So you can fallow they’d fallow
Fallow they’d fallow the stars
So they could come home again
Their callin’ their callin’,
callin’ their callin’, on you
And they be callin’ their callin’,
callin’ their callin’ on me
Callin’ their callin on We.
Powers in the main of the horse,
Hear it in her story you can
hear it in her voice.
Like hair that touches the ground
Young child can you, can you forgive again
So you can fallow they’d fallow
Fallow they’d fallow the stars
So they could come home again
Their callin’ their callin’,
callin’ their callin’, on you
And they are callin’ their callin’,
callin’ their callin’ on me
Callin’ their callin on We.

Water So Deep
02:28

Water so deep
Water so wide
Water braiding
the earth and the sky
Mountains strong
Mountains so tall
Lifted by spirit
and holding us all
Let the mountains guide us
And the water carry our song
back to creation where we belong
When we free our voices
we free our hearts
breaking chains inside
tearing us apart
Water so deep
Water so wide
Water braiding
the earth and the sky
Mountains strong
Mountains so tall
lifted by spirit
and holding us all
Salmon are returning
Ancient paths in the starts
the light of life inside us
is lit by the same spark
When we lose your way
think there’s nowhere left to turn
Prayers are all around
you can always return
Water so deep
Water so wide
Water braiding
the earth and the sky
Mountains strong
Mountains so tall
Lifted by spirit
and holding us all
