The light is long the sun is low
|
I'm riding fast across this dusty road
|
But I don't want to be, no I don't want to be
|
Above the ridge an eagle flies in lazy circles in the western skies
|
I want to fly with him I want to walk the spirit trail
|
I've seen them come I've seen them go off to the oilfields and rodeos
|
To find a better way, they leave their native soil
|
But I can hear a different song
|
The drum within my heart is beating strong
|
I want to follow it, I've got to walk the spirit trail
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Let every creature I see (whoa) be a brother and a friend to me
|
Let every step that I take leave the footprints of a warrior
|
Along the spirit trail...
|
|
Heya-heya heya hiyo
|
Heya-heya heya hiyo
|
Heya-heya heya hiyo
|
Heya-heya heya hiyo
|
They took the land, they took control
|
They robbed my father of his very soul
|
To be like one of them, to be like one of them
|
But I was born a native son
|
And I will never be another one to give it all away
|
I've got to walk the spirit trail
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Heya-heya heya hiyo
|
Heya-heya heya hiyo
|
Heya-heya heya hiyo
|
|
[Chorus]
