San Jacinto |
| 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 |
