Bilingual
I'm cutting the bad fruit,
Off of my tree to
Lighten my load,
And grow me tall.
Just like my dogma
This fire pit mantra
Covered in ashes
Now take me home.
Shedding my antlers
And making up answers
To the mystery of nature
So reach for the sun
Spruce tips and cedars
Now free up them rivers
The salmon will run
No dam can hold
United the nations
Is gonna take some patience
So unzip your sheep skin
The wolves have returned
The wolves have returned
I call to the spirit
Brother I hear it
Union of all things
Like words on the sky
I've read the totems
My ancestors wrote 'em
Now I sit patience
As I wait on the trial
This runs through all things
Like thunder and lightning
Song everlasting
Where always I learn
Pull off your old skin
Now we are kindred
Open and listen
The wolves have returned
The wolves have returned
Channel the old ones
Each waking new sun
Walk with your totem
Conditions unsaid
Walk from the mystery
A love we are feeling
Woomera for protection
The spear in your hand
Light of our dreaming
Never meant to be easy
Sometimes there'll be water
Sometimes it'll be dry
Footprints in tandem
In this ancient sandstone
Grandmothers reside
And I'll be by your side
I will be by your side
Grandmother
I will be by your side
All of creation
Is making a statement
You can't escape it
She's coming for you
If it was up to me
I'd teach her that loneliness
Is just part of
The courage it takes
Maybe it's the music
It's moving right through us
All of the songs
That will outlive me
I'm running the song lines
I'm wrapping my prayer tight
Preserving the old way
My wolf has returned
My wolf has returned
Go on and carry your flag
Carry your flag
I've got your back
Go on and carry your flag
Carry your flag
I've got your back
Carry your flag
Carry your flag
(I got your back now)
Carry your flag (I got your back)
Carry your flag (I got your back now)
(I got your back now) Carry your flag
Carry your flag (I got your back now)
Carry your flag (Carry your flag)
Carry your flag (I got your back now)
Carry your flag (Carry your flag, carry your flag)
Carry your flag (I got your back now, I've got your back now)
Carry your flag (I got your back)
(We've got your back) Carry your flag
Carry your flag
