lyrics

Cheyenne peace chant (traditional)
Let us know peace, as long as the moon shall rise
Let us know peace, as long as the river shall flow
Let us know peace, as long as the sun shall rise
Let us know peace, as long as the grass grows tall

NIGHT WOLF (Inspired and based on "LOBO NOTURNO" by Josi Santos Barauna
I sent my spirit, a night wolf, to wander
Throughout the world's darkest lanes
Fitted with sharp eyes and the speed of the lightning
Assigned to disrobe all the veils.

My spirit, a night wolf, saw children running daunted
Refugees deserting burnt homes
Underneath smart bombs, unfortunate targets
Trying to make sense of this world

Witnessing the rich getting richer and stronger
Defining the games and their rules
In parliaments and temples, their wicked cults of power
Sewing laws to fit as their suits

And everywhere there`s killing and lying and stealing
And craving for power and wealth.
A night wolf, a spirit so free, wild and native
Such a world, just can't comprehend.

SURVIVING HOPE (Inspired and based on "ESPERANÇA SOBREVIVENTE" by Josi Santos Barauna
All the sunny leas we roamed,
while gentle spring winds
steered our feathers,
smothered, lie beneath grey clouds
that clamp our hearts,
now filled with rage
and grief, for all that`s lost.
Arise Great Spirit
and hear my voice
There`re children dying,
There`re mothers crying
Mobsters are thriving
Respect is gone
I wanna see the rain washing out this drought
I wanna see the rainbow above the clouds
I wanna see proud people, shine in glee
their radiant faces in tearful bliss.
