lyrics

verse 1
Rise like the smoke from the fire below
we all have ghosts we need to get to know
I'll surf the soundwaves back to the coast
I'll rest my head on an obsidian stone
there's a song playing deep inside my bones
life of a snake no bitterness no hate
we don't have time to second guess our fate

Chorus
Earthquakes might shake us up for a while
be still with the wind my desert child
I'm going back home all alone
our hearts tell a story our minds will never know

verse 2
Our ancestors are below our feet and above our souls
I soar like a hawk from the top of a telephone pole
I tired to return like a chinook back to its brook
our spirits are damned like the ancient river flow
grow like the fury against the ones in control
our fists in the sky we'll take it back
our fists in the sky we'll take it back

Chorus
