This track is dedicated to the poet Nancy Wood who passed away on 3/12/13 at the age of 76. This song is based off of Nancy Wood's poem "Spiritwalker." Her beautiful prose and poetry speaks to our indigenous hearts, for caring for the Earth, for each other, for our grandchildren. Thank you for sharing your work with the world.
lyrics
Spiritwalker
With long legs poking out of rain clouds
Along the Mesa tops
Listen to our prayers for understanding
Spiritwalker, Mmmhm
Spiritwalker
With footsteps echoing like promises
across the aching land
Give Fire and Ice
to purify us
Spiritwalker, Mmhhmm
Spiritwalker
Whose tears that fall as snow and rain
Heal our forests, our rivers, our homes
And the hearts of all creatures, Mmhhmm
Spiritwalker
Heed the cry of every living thing
And bathe the Earth in harmony
Spiritwalker
Heed the cry of every living thing
And bathe the Earth in harmony
I love this artist, she is daring, gorgeous, deep, fierce "witch-pop". This music is so cathartic for me. I love to work out and run through the forest listening to ANIIML Jen Myzel
