Great spirit, I have had it. Bring me back to the nomadic
Way of weaving through damage; mindful stay mindful
Great spirit for my sisters
, let me be a flowing river
Flood the banks the rocks that bind her
Carry -- I’ll carry
Great, great spirit.. Oh oh oh oh
Great, great spirit
Great spirit for my brother
s, let me be a mountain under
Which he climbs to discover, his process -- now that's progress
Great spirit all that hinders
. Tie reminders to my fingers
I must speak with you more
often. Mmhmmm
Great, great spirit...Oh oh oh oh
Great, great spirit
Great spirit for my relations
Give them strength to face racism
in every single situation
Easy now, go on speak loud
Great spirit take me instead
Guide me down the road of red
Tunkashila, I am
Saying, praying
Great, great spirit
,
Tun-kash-a-la
Great spirit the stone collapse,
nothing but the earth will last
And i'll be singing sweetly into the darkness, now hark this
Great spirit on my tongue
Be still, be still, the time will come
When everyone will sing, all life is sacred
While i'm waiting
Great spirit my fist is up
Bringing the power to the people, your reflection of us
Some of your people can’t hear it, the cries of the earth
Some of your people can't feel it, the way that it hurts
And it hurts great spirit
And it moves great spirit
Interconnected in the wreckage of a paradigm on
Its way out, way out...
Speaking of spiritual, lyrical testimonies
Spirit that did resist, weaving around false prophecies
Spirit directed and selective, with the message I bring
While the ship slowly sinks, I’ve been directed to sing
I'm like a wrecking ball, breaking down the walls of the past
Minimalist, living on bliss, with the last of my cash
You're gonna be justified, with how you treated the land
You're gonna be by my side, when I stand and demand
A change
Tunkashila
Great, great spirit
Tunkashila
Great, great spirit
