Medicine Wheel

Got the news how the world gave way tonight
Been abused but the medicine make it allright
Sustain your heart protect your light
The times ripe for the medicine to arrive
Miles and miles on medicine road to drive
The feather breathes the corns alive
White hoofs be risin from the sand
Wild blood be passed from heart to hand
The weed will fly the cloud will land
Them machines be grindin neath my bed
Ghost dancer defend my homestead
The medicine wheel the road is red
The medicine wheel the road is red
