Ka old soul Oh it is written The Ancient Ones will rise again I bow in complete recognition The Bird Tribes are rising
Ka Ohlungwo Ilungwo Ohlo Lungwo Wei The Bird Tribes are rising
Ka Old Soul It is legend The Ancient Ones will rise again See my soul of different colours See my feathers worn from within
Ka Ohlungwo Ilungwo Ohlo Lungwo Wei The Bird Tribes are rising
Oh come sit by this fire Warm the seeds you’ve sewn Time travellers how far we have flown Are we not birds of the same feather? Is this not prophecy? I rise up for I remember All of Creation Is inside of me
Ka Ohlungwo Ilungwo Ohlo Lungwo Wei The Bird Tribes are rising.
These days, I have become a collector, Tender of the flimsy, yellow, and still…
Putting one foot in front of the other, I take the formless to heart; and I fill
Pots with dirt and myself with cold white wine. Utterly beside the point in straw hat And fussing with flowers, I am consigned Neither to here nor there, to this and that.
Long since the Furies cried, I’ve been alone For gods don’t rejoice in the death of two.
Doggedly, like Sisyphus and his stone I push, but second chances are so few.
When I stumble, kind eyes avert their gaze And we fall each time I look back, these days.
Wise men say that rushing is violence And so is your silence when it’s rooted in compliance To stand firm in loving defiance, make art your alliance Give voice to the fire
Move people to the beat of the wind Gather yourself and begin to dance the song until it ends We are winners, champions of the light Forming in numbers and might, keep the truth close in sight
Medicine Woman, Medicine Man Walking with grace, I know your face, and I trust your hands Medicine Woman, Medicine Man Walking with grace, I know your face, and I trust your hands
Find your teachers in the voice of the forests Unplug, you can’t ignore this, wisdom of the voiceless Remedies are bountiful and surround us From the garden to the farthest, prayer made of star dust
Find your healing in the music that calls you The voice that enthralls you, what do you belong to? Eyes out! There’s the setting of the sun Give thanks to each and everyone
The lesson is the Medicine Woman, Medicine Man Walking with grace, I know your face, and I trust your hands Medicine Woman, Medicine Man Walking with grace, I know your face, and I trust your hands
I believe in bending backwards and extending My traps trip back until the message is in action The yard is feeding, stop stark the disbelieving ‘Cause the garden holds the shards, the medicine is in the seeds when
We hold tight to our right to protect and We know our might is tenfold in connection Our elders hold them bright lights, we protect them The medicine is evident: the wolf, the hawk, the bear clan

I would turn on the TV but it’s so embarrassing To see all the other people I don’t know what they mean
And it was magic at first when they spoke without sound
But now this world is gonna hurt you better turn that thing down
Turn it around
“It wasn’t me”, says the boy with the gun “Sure I pulled the trigger but it needed to be done Cause life’s been killing me ever since it begun You cant blame me cause I’m too young”
“You can’t blame me sure the killer was my son But I didn’t teach him to pull the trigger of the gun It’s the killing on this TV screen You cant blame me its those images he seen”
Well “You can’t blame me”, says the media man Well “I wasn’t the one who came up with the plan I just point my camera at what the people want to see. Man it’s a two way mirror and you cant blame me”
“You can’t blame me”, says the singer of the song Or the maker of the movie which he based his life on. “It’s only entertainment and as anyone can see The smoke machines and makeup and you cant fool me”
It was you it was me it was every man We’ve all got the blood on our hands We only receive what we demand And if we want hell then hells what well have
And I would turn on the TV But it’s so embarrassing To see all the other people I don’t even know what they mean And it was magic at first But let everyone down And now this world is gonna hurt You better turn it around
