"SACRED GROUND"
Words
by Robby Romero and Suzanne Harjo
Music by Robby Romero
eagles disappear into the sun
soaring in the light to the face of creation
scream their way home in the sunset hour
burning the night with mystery and power
power for the bears for the people
to heal the world with courage and prayer
power for the yellow medicine flowers
to heal the world with order and patience
messages from holy places
where summer winds whisper
and snow thunders warn
this is sacred ground
eagle fires burning
in the heart of the earth
inside the old stone woman
her wrinkles are canyons
tears of roaring waters
children take what you need
from the forests of old men cedars
and grandmother mountains who council 'til dawn
messages from holy places
where summer winds whisper
and snow thunders warn
this is sacred ground
mount graham the black hills
bear butte the medicine wheel
holy waters the breath of life we breathe
everything above everything beneath
this is sacred ground
