lyrics

In the midst of the darkness
In the midst of the rage
Third eye: light of reflection
Stares the face of our age

There is no longer middle
There is no longer an end
In the thread bare pockets of justice
There is no more to spend

Chorus Look away to our past
Look away to our past
With the healing smoke
Of sweet grass

What is real between us?
As we hide behind slogan/sign
We can’t keep up the smoke and mirrors
That has ravaged human kind

Come back down to the center
Where soul meets the heart
Away from the star bright illusion
With new birth and a new start

What we’ve done to each other
Fills my heart with disgrace
For profit margined idealism
At what price, cost and waste

Look at the old native hearts
Spirit filled with cleansing view
Treat ourselves with dignity
For these old have something new
