Shannon Joseph Glomb
[Verse 1]
In the time of ancient spirits (spirits)
Underneath the sky's great eye
With the earth our mother, listen (listen)
Hear her voice in raindrops fly
[Flute Solo]
[Verse 2]
Through the dance, we call the storm's heart (storm's heart)
Wearing feathers, hues of land
To the drumbeat's pulse, we gather (gather)
Painted stories on our hand
In the rhythm, life's chorus, chanted (chanted)
With each breath, a sacred stand
[Chorus]
Oh spirits of the water (water)
Bless the ground, gift us your life
As the clouds above start forming (forming)
Casting shadows, nature's might
Prayers and chants rise in the morning (morning)
Asking for the rain's soft light
[Drum and Flute Bridge]
[Verse 3]
In a circle, life embracing (embracing)
Footsteps tread the giving earth
Ancient wisdom speaks in thunder (thunder)
Spirits dance with every flash
Learning from the sky we wander (wander)
Embraced in nature's sacred sash
[Chorus]
Oh spirits of the water (water)
Caress the soil, enkindle growth
Underneath the vast blue dome (vast dome)
Voices chant from ages old (ages old)
In the whispers of the wind (wind)
Nature's secrets are retold (are retold)
[Chorus]
Oh spirits of the water (water)
Your blessings pour, a sacred flow (sacred flow)
