When the morning breaks and
the sunlight warms my soul
In the east the eagle flies and
the red tail proudly soars
I'm on my way to the place
of the spirit one
Grandfather, hear me now, I am on fire
Let the sun dance,
guide my feet to your desire
Show me visions for my eyes
And words like gold that shimmer
in the sun
When the sun goes down and
it grows too dark to see
I look within to the shaman's mysteries. I'm
on my way to die and live again.
Grandmother earth, I cry, give me rest.
Take my place with a woman in the
West.
Show me the raven and the bear,
the way of herbs and the black obsidian.
Hi -yah, hi -yah, hi -yah.
Turn toward the south like
the water I will run.
Innocence and trust, the moonchild song is sung,
I'm on my way
To the place of the sacred plants,
my emotions and my will at their command
Where the turtle's voice is
heard upon the land
The wise coyote prowls, the rattlesnake will call me to the dance,
hi -yah, hi -yah, hi -yah.
In the deepest night,
the stars watch over me.
Old woman of the north,
my mind seeks clarity, I'm on my way.
To the place of the northern winds,
let the thunder and the lightning carry me.
Lay my thoughts to rest and send me in to sleep,
the hawk and the buffalo, my dreams
This white crystal magic medicine
Hi -ya
Hi -ya
Hi -ya
Hi -ya
Hi -ya
you
