The Wolves Have Returned (feat. JOSEPH, Leah Song, Trevor Hall & Xavier Rudd)

[00:31.45] I'm cutting the bad fruit,
[00:36.05] Off of my tree to
[00:37.95] Lighten my load,
[00:39.85] And grow me tall.
[00:41.99] Just like my dogma
[00:43.75] This fire pit mantra
[00:45.62] Covered in ashes
[00:47.78] Now take me home.
[00:49.63] Shedding my antlers
[00:51.52] And making up answers
[00:53.44] To the mystery of nature
[00:55.26] So reach for the sun
[00:57.37] Spruce tips and cedars
[00:59.29] Now free up them rivers
[01:01.18] The salmon will run
[01:03.22] No dam can hold
[01:05.12] United the nations
[01:06.98] Is gonna take some patience
[01:08.89] So unzip your sheep skin
[01:10.71] The wolves have returned
[01:18.61] The wolves have returned
[01:28.36] I call to the spirit
[01:30.33] Brother I hear it
[01:32.26] Union of all things
[01:34.12] Like words on the sky
[01:36.05] I've read the totems
[01:37.95] My ancestors wrote 'em
[01:40.08] Now I sit patience
[01:41.67] As I wait on the trial
[01:43.77] This runs through all things
[01:45.68] Like thunder and lightning
[01:47.57] Song everlasting
[01:49.43] Where always I learn
[01:51.72] Pull off your old skin
[01:53.56] Now we are kindred
[01:55.24] Open and listen
[01:57.39] The wolves have returned
[02:05.05] The wolves have returned
[02:14.99] Channel the old ones
[02:16.53] Each waking new sun
[02:18.68] Walk with your totem
[02:20.53] Conditions unsaid
[02:22.69] Walk from the mystery
[02:24.36] A love we are feeling
[02:26.34] Woomera for protection
[02:28.28] The spear in your hand
[02:30.37] Light of our dreaming
[02:32.06] Never meant to be easy
[02:34.17] Sometimes there'll be water
[02:36.06] Sometimes it'll be dry
[02:37.86] Footprints in tandem
[02:39.97] In this ancient sandstone
[02:41.82] Grandmothers reside
[02:43.79] And I'll be by your side
[02:51.43] I will be by your side
[02:56.96] Grandmother
[02:59.25] I will be by your side
[03:42.08] All of creation
[03:43.73] Is making a statement
[03:45.62] You can't escape it
[03:47.74] She's coming for you
[03:49.60] If it was up to me
[03:51.48] I'd teach her that loneliness
[03:53.57] Is just part of
[03:55.43] The courage it takes
[03:57.34] Maybe it's the music
[03:59.23] It's moving right through us
[04:01.02] All of the songs
[04:03.20] That will outlive me
[04:05.02] I'm running the song lines
[04:06.94] I'm wrapping my prayer tight
[04:08.88] Preserving the old way
[04:10.96] My wolf has returned
[04:18.62] My wolf has returned
[04:26.82] Go on and carry your flag
[04:29.79] Carry your flag
[04:31.19] I've got your back
[04:34.11] Go on and carry your flag
[04:37.03] Carry your flag
[04:38.26] I've got your back
[05:09.86] Carry your flag
[05:12.80] Carry your flag
[05:16.53] (I got your back now)
[05:17.58] Carry your flag (I got your back)
[05:20.59] Carry your flag (I got your back now)
[05:24.06] (I got your back now) Carry your flag
[05:28.23] Carry your flag (I got your back now)
[05:32.03] Carry your flag (Carry your flag)
[05:35.35] Carry your flag (I got your back now)
[05:39.77] Carry your flag (Carry your flag, carry your flag)
[05:43.76] Carry your flag (I got your back now, I've got your back now)
[05:47.90] Carry your flag (I got your back)
[05:51.29] (We've got your back) Carry your flag
[05:55.44] Carry your flag
[06:04.17]
