The Wolves Have Returned Featuring Trevor Hall, Xavier Rudd, Leah Song, Joseph

[00:33.77] I'm cutting the bad fruit off of my tree to
[00:37.79] Lighten my load, and grow me tall
[00:41.50] Just like my dogma, this fire pit mantra
[00:45.61] Covered in ashes, now take me home
[00:49.43] Shedding my antlers and making up answers
[00:53.13] To the mystery of nature, so reach for the sun
[00:57.01] Spruce tips and cedars now free up them rivers
[01:00.90] The salmon will run, no dam can hold
[01:04.67] United the nations is gonna take some patience
[01:08.56] So, unzip your sheep skin, the wolves have returned
[01:18.24] The wolves have returned
[01:20.91] (Oh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[01:27.97] I call to the spirit, brother, I hear it
[01:31.91] Union of all things, like words on the sky
[01:35.92] I've read the totems, my ancestors wrote 'em
[01:39.75] Now I sit patience as I wait on the trial
[01:43.64] This runs through all things like thunder and lightning
[01:47.41] Song everlasting where always I learn
[01:51.45] Pull off your old skin, now we are kindred
[01:55.38] Open and listen, the wolves have returned
[02:04.73] The wolves have returned
[02:07.27] (Oh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[02:14.55] Channel the old ones, each waking new sun
[02:18.60] Walk with your totem, conditions unsaid
[02:22.33] Walk from the mystery, a love we are feeling
[02:26.07] Woomera for protection, the spear in your hand
[02:30.08] Light of our dreaming, never meant to be easy
[02:33.86] Sometimes there'll be water, sometimes it'll be dry
[02:37.86] Footprints in tandem, in this ancient sandstone
[02:41.51] Grandmothers reside, and I'll be by your side
[02:49.28] Oh, I will be by your side
[02:55.74] Grandmother
[02:58.41] I will be by your side
[03:06.87] Oh-oh
[03:41.85] All of creation is making a statement
[03:45.52] You can't escape it, she's coming for you
[03:49.40] It was up to me, I'd teach her that loneliness
[03:53.55] Is just part of the courage it takes
[03:57.11] Maybe it's the music, it's moving right through us
[04:01.18] All of the songs that will outlive me
[04:04.71] I'm running the song lines
[04:06.76] I'm wrapping my prayer tight
[04:08.59] Preserving the old way
[04:10.70] My wolf has returned (ooh)
[04:18.28] My wolf has returned, ooh
[04:25.90] Go on and carry your flag
[04:29.13] Carry your flag, I've got your back
[04:33.71] Go on and carry your flag
[04:36.81] Carry your flag, I've got your back
[04:39.59]
[05:08.89] Carry your flag
[05:12.61] Carry your flag (I got your back now)
[05:16.56] Carry your flag (I got your back)
[05:20.36] Carry your flag (I got your back now)
[05:23.45] (I got your back now) carry your flag
[05:28.15] Carry your flag (I got your back now)

[05:35.82] Carry your flag (I got your back now)

[05:43.73] Carry your flag (I got your back now, I've got your back now)
[05:47.58] Carry your flag (I got your back)
