Come, my brothers, let us dance together Around the fire, under the moon. Come sing my sisters to the beat of a sacred drum. You just met the white man 500 years too soon. On a sacred mountain, in the middle of the turtles back, I saw the western lion through the eagles eye. In the Place of the Spiralling Stones I found the beating heart. Four powerful, ancient spirits barred my way, And they danced around me to make me leave their sacred ground, But I said I was walkin’ in a sacred way. We were lost in darkness when we first came here, Runnin’ from a world of pain, and death, and fear. We came with hope and promise of a better life, But we brought our greed and money, disease, and endless strife. We were all just children, but you were dancin’ with the buffalo, While we forged steel and iron to subdue the land. In that Spirit moment when those ancient ghosts were dancin’ round, They changed direction just to sanctify. and I saw the promise that One Great Spirit had made for all, ‘cause I was walkin’ in a sacred way. Great Ones from many nations, it’s here they made their stand. Let there be no mistake; this is the promised land. But we weren’t supposed to steal it, we weren’t supposed to tear it down, We weren’t supposed to kill it, that isn’t why we came. We were supposed to come together like two brothers who were lost then found, sharin’ all they know for an even better way. All my relations from the four directions came and joined the dance. It was a vision of hope, a living dream and a possible chance. Then they stopped together, and turned, and then became as one, And I knew I was walkin’ in a sacred way. So, come my brothers, let us dance together Around the fire, under the moon. Come sing my sisters to the beat of a sacred drum, Now we can dance in a sacred way. In a sacred circle, with the freedom for which we were made. Now we can dance in a sacred way. In a sacred way. In a sacred way. In a sacred way.
