San Jacinto

[00:21.14] Thick cloud - steam rising - hissing stone on sweat lodge fire
[00:29.47] Around me - buffalo robe - sage in bundle - run on skin
[00:37.60]
[00:45.75] Outside - cold air - stand, wait for rising sun
[00:54.24]
[00:58.89] Red paint - eagle feathers - coyote calling - it has begun
[01:06.90]
[01:12.38] Something moving in - I taste it in my mouth and in my heart
[01:20.65]
[01:25.23] It feels like dying - slow - letting go of life
[01:38.28]
[01:54.66] Heya Wambdetanka! (Arise Big Eagle!) [1]
[01:58.67]
[02:07.00] Medicine man lead me up though town - Indian ground - so far down
[02:15.41]
[02:19.77] Cut up land - each house - a pool - kids wearing water wings - drink in cool
[02:28.09]
[02:33.08] Follow dry river bed - watch Scout and Guides make pow-wow signs
[02:41.15]
[02:45.71] Past Geronimo's disco - Sit 'n' Bull steakhouse - white men dream
[02:53.96]
[02:58.77] A rattle in the old man's sack - look at mountain top - keep climbing up
[03:08.43]
[03:11.60] Way above us the desert snow - white wind blow
[03:18.84]
[03:23.95] I hold the line - the line of strength that pulls me through the fear
[03:34.04]
[03:36.64] San Jacinto - I hold the line
[03:46.16]
[03:50.75] San Jacinto - the poison bite and darkness take my sight - I hold the line
[04:03.17] And the tears roll down my swollen cheek - think I'm losing it - getting weaker
[04:15.87] I hold the line - I hold the line
[04:26.08]
[04:29.14] San Jacinto - yellow eagle flies down from the sun - from the sun
[04:42.10]
[05:15.37] We will walk - on the land
[05:21.40]
[05:30.87] We will breathe - of the air
[05:36.58] We will drink - from the stream
[05:43.83] We will live - hold the line
[05:50.28]
[05:52.33] Hold the line
[05:54.18] Hold the line
[05:57.31]
[06:00.66] Hold the line
[06:02.01]
