Fogelberg Dan The Spirit Trail Lyrics

The Spirit Trail Lyrics

The light is long
The sun is low
I'm riding fast across this dusty
road
But I don't want to be
No, I don't want to be
Above the ridge an
eagle flies
In lazy circles in the western skies
I want to fly with
him
I want to walk the spirit trail.
I've seen them come
I've seen
them go
Off to the oilfields and rodeos
To find a better way
They
leave their native soil
But I can hear a different song
The drum within
my heart is beating strong
I want to follow it
I've got to walk the
spirit trail.
Chorus
Let every creature I see
Be a brother and a
friend to me
Let every step that I take
Leave the footprints of a
warrior
Along the spirit trail.
Heya-heya heya hiyo
Heya-heya heya
hiyo
Heya-heya heya hiyo.
The took the land
They took control
They
robbed my father of his very soul
To be like one of them
To be like one
of them
But I was born a native son
And I will never be another one
To
give it all away
I've got to walk the spirit trail.
(Repeat chorus)
