Lyrics
Man Walks Among Us
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Warm are the winds on the desert
A whirlwind is dancing around
I stop to survey all the beauty that's here
When a shadow moves out 'cross the ground
It's an eagle that circles above me
And he screams to his friends on the hill
Stay close together, move not a feather
Man walks among us, be still, be still
Man walks among us, be still
Everything hides, but I see them
I've spotted an old mother quail
I look close and see, looking right back at me
The eyes of a young cottontail
I see a coyote sneaking
As he crawls through the brush on the hill
And the eagle screams down: Stay close to the ground
Man walks among us, be still, be still
Man walks among us, be still
Twenty feet high in the side of a cactus
I see a hole where the butcher bird stays
If mortals could choose, and if heaven should ask us
Here's where I'd want to spend all of my days
Soon will be gone all the desert
Cities will cover each hill
Today will just be a fond memory
Man walks among us, be still, be still
Man walks among us, be still
