Lyrics
My days were troubled
and my nights were long
When a wing-flapper answered
my heart’s prayer-song
The mountain shades my people far below
The peak’s alive to the northern glow
And my spirit sings of life as one
With every living thing I move in time
The mountain I climb
sits there in my mind
My fast is the fast of the spirit kind
The Word’s revolved by a myriad of signs
A vision unfolds of the grand design
And on my steed I ride
On a quest I cannot deny
For a land never before trod
For the tribe of the world
The brothers of man are being drawn toward
The center of the circle where the eagle soars
The spirit of the land is alive again
A vision comes to life in a springtime rain
