San Jacinto Lyrics

San Jacinto lyrics

Thick cloud - steam rising - hissing stone on sweat lodge fire

 Around me - buffalo robe - sage in bundle - run on skin

 Outside - cold air - stand, wait for rising sun

 Red paint - eagle feathers - coyote calling - it has begun

 Something moving in - I taste it in my mouth and in my heart

 It feels like dying - slow - letting go of life

 

 Medicine man lead me up though town - Indian ground - 

 so far down

 Cut up land - each house - a pool - kids wearing water 

 wings - drink in cool

 Follow dry river bed - watch Scout and Guides make 

 pow-wow signs

 Past Geronimo's disco - Sit 'n' Bull steakhouse - white 

 men dream

 A rattle in the old man's sack - look at mountain top - 

 keep climbing up

 Way above us the desert snow - white wind blow

  

 I hold the line - the line of strength that pulls me through 

 the fear

 San Jacinto - I hold the line

 San Jacinto - the poison bite and darkness take my sight - 

 I hold the line

 And the tears roll down my swollen cheek - think I'm losing 

 it - getting weaker

 I hold the line - I hold the line

 San Jacinto - yellow eagle flies down from the sun - 

 from the sun

  

 We will walk - on the land

 We will breathe - of the air

 We will drink - from the stream

 We will live - hold the line
