Great Spirit

Great spirit, I have had it

Bring me back to the nomadic

Way of weaving through the damage

Mindful, stay mindful

Great spirit, for my sisters

Let me be a flowing river

Flood the banks, the rocks that bind her

Carry, I'll carry

Great, great spirit

Great, great spirit

Great spirit, for my brothers

Let me be a mountain under

Which he climbs to discover his process

Now that's progress

Great spirit, all that hinders

Tie reminders to my fingers

I must speak with you more often

Great, great spirit

Great, great spirit

Great spirit, for my relations

Give them strength to face racism

In every single situation

Easy now, go on speak loud

Great spirit, take me instead

Guide me down the road of red

Tunkashila, I am saying, praying,

Great, great spirit

Great, great spirit

Great spirit, just don't collapse

Nothing but the earth will last

And I'll be singing sweetly into the darkness

Now hark this

Great spirit on my tongue,

Be still, be still

The time will come when everyone will sing

All life is sacred,

While I'm waiting

Great spirit, my fist is up

Bringing the power to the people, you're reflection of us

Some of your people can't hear it, the cries of the earth

Some of your people can't feel it, the way that it hurts

And it hurts, great spirit

And it moves, great spirit

Interconnected in the wreckage of a paradigm on its way out

Its way out

Speakin' a spiritual lyrical testimony

The spirit that did resist weavin' around false prophesies

Spirit directed and selected with the message I bring

While the ship slowly sinks I've been directed to sing

I'm like a wreckin' ball breakin' down the walls of the past

A minimalist livin' on bliss with the last of my cash

You're gonna be justified with how you treated the land

You're gonna be by my side when I stand and demand a change
