When the morning breaks and the sunlight warms my soul
Em D
In the East the Eagle flies, and the Red Tail proudly soars
Em G G/F# Em
I'm on my way~ to the place of the spirit one
G D add2
Grandfather hear me now, I am on fire
Em G
Let the sundance guide my feet to your desire
D
Show me visions for my eyes
Am D add2
And words like gold that shimmer in the sun
Em D Em
Hyi-ah, hyi-ah, hyi-ah
When the sun goes down and it grows too dark to see
I look within to the Shaman's mysteries
I'm on my way~ to die and live, again
Grandmother Earth I cry, give me rest
I take my place with the woman in the West
Show me the Raven and the Bear
The way of herbs and the black obsidian
Hyi-ah, hyi-ah, hyi-ah
Turn toward the South, like water I will run
In innocence and trust the Moonchild's song is sung
I'm on my way~ to the place of the sacred plants
My emotions and my will at their command
Where the Turtle's voice is heard upon the land
Where the wise Coyote prowls
The Rattlesnake will call me to the dance
Hyi-ah, hyi-ah, hyi-ah
In the deepest night when the stars watch over me
Old Woman of the North my mind seeks clarity
I'm on my way~ to the place of the Northern winds
Let the Thunder and the Lightning carry me
Lay my thoughts to rest and send me into sleep
With the Hawk and the Buffalo
My dreams white crystal magic medicine
Hyi-ah, hyi-ah, hyi-ah
D Em
Hyi-ah, hyi-ah...
