Nahko And Medicine For The People - Great Spirit Lyrics
So which wolf will you feed
One makes you strong, one makes you weak
And those who know and those who seek
Amidst the chaos, find your peace (yeah)
I know which wolf I'll feed
I know which wolf I'll feed
Great spirit, I've 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
Oh oo oh
Great, Great Spirit
Oh oo oh
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 to you more often
Great, Great Spirit
Oh oo oh
Great, Great Spirit
Oh oo oh
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 shamed, Great
Great Spirit, system collapsed
Nothing but the Earth will last
And I will be singing sweetly until the darkness
And how life is
Great Spirit, on my tongue
Be still, be still, the time will come
When everyone will sing "All Life is Sacred"
Well, I'm waiting
Great Spirit, my fist is up bringing the power to the people
You're a reflection of us
Some of you're people can't hear it
The cries of the Earth
Some of you're people can't feel it
The way that it hurts
And it hurts, Great Spirit
Oh, and it moves, Great Spirit
Interconnected in the wreckage of a paradigm on
Its way out, its way out
Speaking of spiritual lyrical testimonies
A spirited lyricist weaving around false prophecies
A spirit directed and selected with the message I bring
While the ship slowly sinks, I've been directed to sing
I'm like a wrecking ball breaking down the walls of the past
I made up a list, living off 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
Change
They know not what they do
They know not what they do
Can we forgive them for that too?
