Black Elk |
The memory remains |
They built an iron road to cross the plains |
He was just a child |
And the buffalo still were wild |
He heard the voices in his head |
Ancestors are calling you is what they said |
Then the vision did appear |
Twelve black horses he was full of fear |
The storms were in his eyes |
Black Elk was on the rise |
He healed his people and he never lost |
The visions in his mind |
He turned east into the sun |
Dancing horses beckoned him to come |
Gazing from afar |
His eyes glimmered like a daybreak star |
He saw the elders gathered round |
Old as the hills rising from the ground |
In their knowledge he’d abide |
Upon the black road he would ride |
The storms were in his eyes |
Black Elk was on the rise |
He healed his people and he never lost |
The visions in his mind |
With eagle on the wing |
A thousand voices began to sing |
He struck the blue man in the heart |
Then the sky seemed to break apart |
The flames had died |
In gladness all the creatures cried |
Then the rain began to fall |
The drought was broken and the grass grew tall |
The storms were in his eyes |
Black Elk was on the rise |
He healed his people and he never lost |
The visions in his mind |
