San Jacinto (live) (Live)

Thick cloud -steam rising -hissing stone on sweat lodge fire

Around me -buffalo robe -sage in bundle -rub on skin

Outside -cold air -stand wait for rising sun

Red paint -eagle feathers -coyote calling -it has begun

Something moving in -I taste it in my mouth and in my heart

It feels like dying -slow -letting go of life

Medicine man lead me up through town -Indian ground -so far down

Cut up land -each house -a pool -kids wearing water wings -drink in cool

Follow dry river bed -watch Scout and Guides make pow-wow signs

Past Geronimo's disco -Sit 'n' Bull steakhouse -white men dream

A rattle in the old man's sack -look at mountain top -keep climbing up

Way above us the desert snow -white wind blow

I hold the line -the line of strength that pulls me through the fear

San Jacinto -I hold the line

San Jacinto -the poison bite and darkness take my sight -I hold the line

And the tears roll down my swollen cheek -think I'm losing it -getting weaker

I hold the line -I hold the line

San Jacinto -yellow eagle flies down from the sun -from the sun

We will walk -on the land

We will breathe -of the air

We will drink -from the stream

We will live -hold the line
