Medicine Man

(Album: Blue Sky - Night Thunder - 1975)

My soul is my pony
I rode here today
Through badlands and black hills
I came a long way

Hear me now old man
I ask you to say
A prayer for two people
In your sundance way

Medicine man, I ask you to sing for us
A dance, a chant to put us in a trance
Medicine man, lift up your voice tonight
And pass the pipe of everlasting light

Seashells and old spells, and ribbons and smoke
The claw of the eagle, your handwoven cloak
Make old what is new now, and make new what is old
And unleash the power of your thunderbolt

Medicine man, I ask you to sing for us
A dance, a chant to put us in a trance
Medicine man, lift up your voice tonight
And pass the pipe of everlasting light
