lost between earth and sky

I walk this land
let me sing a new song
let me dance across the plains
let me dance across mountains
let me dance across low valleys
let me dance so that it makes me sing

I am so tired
sleep can not find me
I go lost between earth and sky
the sound of coyotes and owls fills my heart
I say to myself where are you going
the ribbon of my life travels slow
slipping and sliding I go
I am so tired

I walk this land
let me sing a new song
let me dance across the plains
let me dance across mountains
let me dance across low valleys
let me dance so that it makes me sing

I am so tired
there is no laughing road
Dawn Boy can not find me
hard days and cold nights
the trail ruts deep and hard
what is it I hear
I am so tired

I walk this land
let me sing a new song
let me dance across the plains
let me dance across mountains
let me dance across low valleys
let me dance so that it makes me sing

I am a man
I am more than an Indian
I am more than a native
I am a person

yo, come dance with me
the songs come from our hearts
these are my places
let us travel this way together

let our hearts sing
let us dance across the earth
let us dance across the sky
let us sing
let us dance
it is good
it is good
