I met him on the powwow trail He was singing and I was a dancer To the Heartbeat Drum Heartbeat Drum - heyo heya Long summer nights Falling in love Don't ever want to part, Don't ever wanna say goodbye Darling don't cry When I leave the USA If you like I'll take you home When I go back to Canada Hey ya, hey ya |

Up Where We Belong
|
|
Who knows what tomorrow brings In a world where few hearts survive All I know is the way I feel When it's real I keep it alive The road is long There are mountains in the way But we climb a step every day Love lift us up where we belong Where the eagles cry On a mountain high Love lift us up where we belong Far from the world we know Up where the clear winds blow Some hang on to used to be Live their lives looking behind When all we have is here and now All our lives out there to find The road is long There are mountains in the way But we climb a step every day Love lift us up where we belong Where the eagles cry On a mountain high Love lift us up where we belong Far from the world we know Up where the clear winds blow Time goes by No time to cry Life's you and I Alive... today Love lift us up where we belong Where the eagles cry On a mountain high Love lift us up where we belong Far from the world we know Up where the clear winds blow |

The Piney Wood Hills
|
|
I'm a rambler and a rover And a wanderer it seems I've traveled all over Chasing after my dreams But a dream should come true And a heart should be filled And a life should be lived In the piney wood hills I'll return to the woodlands I'll return to the snow I'll return to the hills And the valley below I'll return like a poor man Or a king if God wills But I'm on my way home To the piney wood hills I was raised on a song there I done right I done wrong there And it's true I belong there And it's true it's my home From ocean to ocean I've rambled and roamed And soon I'll return To my piney wood home Maybe someday I'll find Someone who will Love as I love my piney wood hills |

Cripple Creek
|
|
Hey, I got a girl at the head of the creek Goin up to see her about 2 times a week Kiss her on the mouth, sweet as any wine Wrap herself around me like a sweet potato vine Goin up Cripple Creek, goin on a run Goin up Cripple Creek to have a little fun Goin up Cripple Creek, goin in a whirl Goin up Cripple Creek to see my little girl Now the girls up Cripple Creek about half-grown Jump on a boy like a dog on a bone Roll my britches up to my knees Wade ol Cripple Creek whenever I please Now, Cripple Creek's wide and Cripple Creek's deep Wade old Cripple Creek before I sleep Hills are steep and the roads are muddy And I'm so dizzy that I can't stand steady |

God Is Alive/Magic Is Afoot
|
|
God is alive; Magic is afoot God is alive; Magic is afoot God is afoot; Magic is alive Alive is afoot... Magic never died. God never sickened; many poor men lied many sick men lied Magic never weakened Magic never hid Magic always ruled God is afoot God never died. God was ruler though his funeral lengthened Though his mourners thickened Magic never fled Though his shrouds were hoisted the naked God did live Though his words were twisted the naked Magic thrived Though his death was published round and round the world the heart did not believe Many hurt men wondered many struck men bled Magic never faltered Magic always led. Many stones were rolled but God would not lie down Many wild men lied many fat men listened Though they offered stones Magic still was fed Though they locked their coffers God was always served. Magic is afoot. God rules. Alive is afoot. Alive is in command. Many weak men hungered Many strong men thrived Though they boasted solitude God was at their side Nor the dreamer in his cell nor the captain on the hill Magic is alive Though his death was pardoned round and round the world the heart did not believe. Though laws were carved in marble they could not shelter men Though altars built in parliaments they could not order men Police arrested Magic and Magic went with them, for Magic loves the hungry. But Magic would not tarry it moves from arm to arm it would not stay with them Magic is afoot it cannot come to harm it rests in an empty palm it spawns in an empty mind but Magic is no instrument Magic is the end. Many men drove Magic but Magic stayed behind Many strong men lied they only passed through Magic and out the other side Many weak men lied they came to God in secret and though they left him nourished they would not say who healed Though mountains danced before them they said that God was dead Though his shrouds were hoisted the naked God did live This I mean to whisper to my mind This I mean to laugh with in my mind This I mean my mind to serve 'til service is but Magic moving through the world and mind itself is Magic coursing through the flesh and flesh itself is Magic dancing on a clock and time itself the magic length of God. |

Until It's Time for You to Go
|
|
You're not a dream, you're not an angel, you're a man I'm not a queen, I'm a woman, take my hand We'll make a space in the lives that we'd planned And here we'll stay until it's time for you to go Yes we're different, worlds apart, we're not the same We laughed and played at the start like in a game You could've stayed outside my heart but in you came And here you'll stay until it's time for you to go Don't ask why Don't ask how Don't ask forever Love me now This love of mine had no beginning, it has no end I was an oak, now I'm a willow, now I can bend And though I'll never in my life see you again Still I'll stay until it's time for you to go Don't ask why Don't ask how Don't ask forever Love me now You're not a dream, you're not an angel, you're a man I'm not a queen, I'm a woman, take my hand We'll make a space in the lives that we'd planned And here we'll stay until it's time for you to go |

The Universal Soldier
|
|
He's five feet two and he's six feet four He fights with missiles and with spears He's all of 31 and he's only 17 He's been a soldier for a thousand years He's a Catholic, a Hindu, an athiest, a Jain, a Buddhist and a Baptist and a Jew and he knows he shouldn't kill and he knows he always will kill you for me my friend and me for you And he's fighting for Canada, he's fighting for France, he's fighting for the USA, and he's fighting for the Russians and he's fighting for Japan, and he thinks we'll put an end to war this way And he's fighting for Democracy and fighting for the Reds He says it's for the peace of all He's the one who must decide who's to live and who's to die and he never sees the writing on the walls But without him how would Hitler have condemned him at Dachau Without him Caesar would have stood alone He's the one who gives his body as a weapon to a war and without him all this killing can't go on He's the universal soldier and he really is to blame His orders come from far away no more They come from him, and you, and me and brothers can't you see this is not the way we put an end to war. |

Goodnight
|
|
Sleepless nights don't bother me at all If dawn comes I don't worry Something deep inside keeps me awake I wish that you were here right beside me I recall when I was very young And could not go to sleep My father sang me songs to make me tired But memories don't make it easier so Goodnight Wherever you are sleeping And I hope that if you dream you dream of me Oh goodnight Wherever you are sleeping And I hope that if you dream you dream of me Now I lie awake and it's no fun Tossing and turning I'd call you if it weren't so very late But telephones don't bring you close to me I recall the times we stayed up late Wide awake but still dreaming There was nothing on this earth could make me tired But memories don't make it easier so Goodnight wherever you are sleeping and I hope that if you dream you dream of me Goodnight wherever you are sleeping and I hope that if you dream you dream of me and I hope that if you dream you dream of me. |

Dance Me Around
|
|
And when I think about all I missed All those kisses that you Gave to someone else I wish I'd been around But I was up there in the air While you were over here With both feet on the ground Who'd've ever thought it That it shoulda been you and me Got to find a way to show it This effect you have on me When I think about what I missed I wish I coulda been your girl And when I think about all I've lost I could never count the cost Cause of what we've got for free And now it's later Maybe better late than never I don't know But here you are with me Dance Me Around again Hold me like it's never gonna end Finally I've found Somebody who's always been a friend |

|
|
Sun is up Day is on Look for me I'll be gone Cause today's the day I'm gonna see him again He's an Indian cowboy in the rodeo and I'm just another little girl who loves him so He's an Indian cowboy in the rodeo and I'm just another little girl who loves him so Once he stopped and talked to me I found out how dreams can be with a big wide smile and a big white hat |

Now That the Buffalo's Gone
|
|
Can you remember the times That you have held your head high and told all your friends of your Indian claim Proud good lady and proud good man Some great great grandfather from Indian blood came and you feel in your heart for these ones Oh it's written in books and in song that we've been mistreated and wronged Well over and over I hear those same words from you good lady and you good man Well listen to me if you care where we stand and you feel you're a part of these ones When a war between nations is lost the loser we know pays the cost but even when Germany fell to your hands consider dear lady, consider dear man you left them their pride and you left them their land and what have you done to these ones Has a change come about my dear man or are you still taking our lands A treaty forever your senators sign They do dear lady, they do dear man and the treaties are broken again and again and what will you do for these ones Oh it's all in the past you can say but it's still going on here today The governments now want the Navaho land that of the Inuit and the Cheyenne It's here and it's now you can help us dear man Now that the buffalo's gone. |

Soldier Blue
|
|
I look out and I see a land Young and lovely hard and strong For 50,000 years we've danced her praises Prayed our thanks and we've just begun Yes, yes This this is my country Young and growing Free and flowing sea to sea Yes this is my country Ripe and bearing miracles In every pond and tree Her spirit walks the high country Giving free wild samples And setting an example how to give Yes this is my country Retching and turning She's like a baby learning how to live. I can stand upon a hill at dawn Look all around me Feel her surround me Soldier Blue Can't you see her life has just begun It's beating inside us Telling us she's here to guide us. Soldier Blue, Soldier Blue Can't you see that there's Another way to love her Yes this is my country I sprang from her and I'm Learning how to count upon her Tall trees and the corn is high country Yes I love her and I'm Learning how to take care of her When the news stories get me down I take a drink of freedom to think of North America from toe to crown It's never long before I know just why I belong here |

Eagle Man/Changing Woman
|
|
Eagle Man climbing the skies Red light of evening falls like rain Rainbow's my yarn The sky is my loom I will weave sunsets later on Snow Woman Climbing the wind Blue light of winter fills her baskets Oh woh-h Changing Woman Dance on the weather Lightning and feathers mark her trail Life Lovers splinting the worlds Healing the broken and the lame Reach out to me Give me your hands We close the circuits of time Angel Ranger Stay here by me Guide my transmission of energy Oldest religion simple and clear Pour out a lesson into my dream |

Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee
|
|
Indian legislation on the desk of a do-right Congressman Now, he don't know much about the issue so he picks up the phone and he asks advice from the Senator out in Indian country A darling of the energy companies who are ripping off what's left of the reservations. Huh. I learned a safety rule, I don't know who to thank Don't stand between the reservation and the corporate bank They send in federal tanks It isn't nice but it's reality Bury my heart at Wounded Knee Deep in the Earth Cover me with pretty lies bury my heart at Wounded Knee. Huh. They got these energy companies that want the land and they've got churches by the dozen who want to guide our hands and sign Mother Earth over to pollution, war and greed Get rich... get rich quick. We got the federal marshals, we got the covert spies We got the liars by the fire, we got the FBIs They lie in court and get nailed and still Peltier goes off to jail My girlfriend Annie Mae talked about uranium Her head was filled with bullets and her body dumped The FBI cut off her hands and told us she'd died of exposure Bury my heart at Wounded Knee Bury my heart at Wounded Knee Bury my heart at Wounded Knee Bury my heart at Wounded Knee We had the Goldrush Wars, didn't we learn to crawl and still our history gets written in a liar's scrawl They tell 'ya "Honey, you can still be an Indian d-d-down at the Y on Saturday nights" |
