San Jacinto

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

Around me - buffalo robe - sage in bundle - run 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 though 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
