Take away Your Indian Souvenir

The lines left for me

You are angry, I am sad

Said it all, no more to say

You claim to love me always . . .

True love has pain

Guilt fear and shame

Loves a wondrous thing

Peaceful like rain

Take away Your Indian Souvenir (Take away . . . )

 Leave the real Indian behind (leave the real . . .)

Run away chasing dreams (Run away. . . )

Compartmentalize your love for me . . .

Crystal beads astrology

Gaze into the stars you’ll see

All these truths you

True love has pain

Guilt fear and shame

Loves a wondrous thing

Peaceful like rain

Take away Your Indian Souvenir (Take away . . . )

 Leave the real Indian behind (leave the real . . .)

Run away chasing dreams (Run away. . . )

Compartmentalize your love for me . . .

You drove for miles 1 day

Looking for your heart you say

Came upon a mountain top

Found truth medicine way

There is artwork to be made creative process when you were born

Mother left you they say father said what can I do

You played in the playground, and made friends in the sand

And said one day, I will be one free woman

To walk along this land and share

And be all that l came here to

Be be be

Sing to Mother earth and Father sky (in the beauty way)

Walk on Mother earth and Father sky (in the beauty way)

Writing on the waves one day I looked back into the mirror

And I saw my face and it was written in a cave inscription,

Reeeeeed women sing your song to mother earth and father sky

In the beauty way, 35,000 years manifest goodness

In your mind and body and soul, and your thoughts while you walk on this land

Whatcha you going to do with your life one day,

when its all over and its time to say, Hello

Sing to Mother earth and Father sky (in the beauty way)

Walk on Mother earth and Father sky (in the beauty way)

I want to be a free one, I want to get out of this lock and key

That was made for me before I was born, in my DNA,

Give me that key for the freedom to share with all on the land

Let me honor myself today.

Sing to Mother earth and Father sky (in the beauty way)

Walk on Mother earth and Father sky

t's cold outside, add more wood to fire,
Tell me something new, teach me you,
I want to know, I've been waiting so long,
For a new friend to come, bring some light inside,
Where I find darkness lingers, in my dreams at night,
Bridge:
Caught up in the same old stories everyday,
Little obsessions block the way

Chorus:
Where are you going, where have you been, how are you doing, why are you here?

Share together, open heart and mind,
Help me find my way, love peace inside
When I am sad at night,, I'll go back to the fire,
Reminisce sweet stories, on this cold cold night,
Bridge:
Caught up in the same old stories everyday,
Little obsessions block the way,

Chorus:
Where are you going, where have you been, how are you doing, why are you here?
Where are you going, where have you been how are you doing, why are you here?

Greatest gift to find, out who you are,
True intentions, will guide your way

Open creations, connect to dreams

To touch others in soul filled way

Bridge:
Caught up in the same old stories everyday,
Little obsessions block the way,

Chorus:
Where are you going, where have you been, how are you doing, why are you here?
Where are you going, where have you been how are you doing, why are you here?

Running girl, where are you going?

The night is dark, I want to come too.

Running girl, what are you hiding?

I love you so, let’s talk about it.

You got to let it go

        Let me in

You got to let it go

        I’m dying inside

You got to let it go

        Anger deep

You got to let it go

Late last night, you told me a story

Saturated, trapped in time.

Heavy traffic, temperature rising

You opened the door, you blew my mind.

You got to let it go

        Let me in

You got to let it go

        I’m dying inside

You got to let it go

        Anger deep

You got to let it go

Falling in(stickers)  thicket, felling like I’m gliding

Beams of light, far from sight

(My) heart is bleeding, I am (a) crying

Running from the road, lost my mind

I’ve got to let it go

        You belong

I’ve got to let it go

        Sensitive soul

I’ve got to let it go

        Talk within

I’ve got to let it go

Passion alive, you know I am trying

It’s cold outside, I want you near

I turn around and see the light

Your warm embrace, comfort inside

We’ve got to let it go

We’ve got to let it go

Got to let it go

        You belong

Got to let it go

        Sensitive soul

Got to let it go

        Move on

We’ve got to let it go

An elder came to me

She whispered in my ear

This is what she said

And what it means to me;

“Long life you may see, No words on everything,

Listen to the wind, Feel your breath, through the storm.”

Woman you come from the earth

Sing your song, sing your song to us all.

Wisdom in your hand

Stop the fight, stop the fight for us all

Spirit ride the wind

Touch all our wounds

Woman move our hearts

This is your time

“Long life you may see, No words on everything,

Listen to the wind, Feel your breath, through the storm.”

Woman you come from the earth

Sing your song, sing your song to us all.

Wisdom in your hand

Stop the fight, stop the fight for us all

Oh spirit so free

Touching hearts of others to let them be

Oh let yourself go

That beautiful spirit you may not know.

I am spirit that flows

Drawing energy from the earth

I leave a seed that grows inside you

Bearing the beauty of my soul.

Oh spirit so free

Touching hearts of others to let them be

Oh let yourself go

That beautiful spirit you may not know.

You create the windows of opportunities

You will always land on your feet

Never fear yourself

As you have a powerful existence.

Oh spirit so free

Touching hearts of others to let them be

Oh let yourself go

That beautiful spirit you may not know.

That beautiful spirit you may not know.

When I first saw you,

I let my truth be told,

I wasn’t scared no more,

You were the answer to my prayer,

Doors flew open for me,

Many others, Trying to find their way,

In this world you know oh so well,

Chorus:

Why do you have to go now?

Part of me wants to be there,

Don’t have to say good-bye,

Spirit World, no compromise,

First snow came,

Your land covered with Father Sun’s rays,

So silent on  Mother Earth,

Filled with prayers,

Listen so intently,

Countless signs flying your way,

We laugh, we cry, we share,

You receive us all,

Chorus:

Why do you have to go now?

Part of me wants to be there,

Don’t have to say good-bye,

Spirit World no compromise,

No compromise.

Dreams, what for? Some times I wonder, what for?

Visions, come and go, do we see them, who knows?

Blessings, pleasure and pain, come together, do we get it?

Prayers, piece within, silent heart, can we love?

Always wondering where we’re going, where do we belong? where do we belong?

Walk along the edge and ask yourself, Am I Ready?

Take my hand into the fire, fear unknown!

Tears let them flow, allow the healing cleanse your soul

Thoughts, face the east, sunrise in, beauty way!

Blessings, pleasure and pain, come together, do we get it?

Prayers, peace within, silent heart, can we love?

Always wondering where we’re going, where do we belong? where do we belong?

Walk along the edge and ask yourself, Am I Ready?

Take my hand into the fire, fear unknown!

Walk along the edge and ask yourself, Am I Ready?

Dreams,            visions,          blessings and prayers

       Am I Ready?                         Am I Ready?

       Face yourself,                         you can do it,

   Am I Ready?

  embrace fears and don’t look back, visions

Take my hand into the fire, fear unknown!

 embrace fears and

don’t look back

fear unknown!

AM I READY?

I heard your prayers, though you didn’t speak,

Rain for the earth, water for the sheep,

We need rain, let us pray

The coal mines came and raped the land,

Sucked it dry where we stand,

Stripped the earth of her divine,

Drank her dry, took her life.

So let us pray, we need rain

(Walk with respect, walk with blessings, walk with love, walk in beauty)

Brother against sister, Hopi and Dine, Peabody’s promise and what they left,

Lease agreements, filled with lies, Poison our water, curses disguised,

Forced relocation once again, Can’t feel the earth on concrete land,

Man made lights, can’t see the stars, Peabody’s Coal Mine burns and scars,

Let us pray, we need rain …

Let us pray, she needs rain…

(Walk with respect, walk with blessings, walk with love, walk in beauty)

I had a vision, of long ago, my people free….
