Before You Came

fore you came I dreamed... that I was riding in a South Dakota field and the sweet grass whispered to me as I rode oh, the sun it was at midday it shown hot across my face and our land lay still in grace yes, a crystal silent place before you came Two of my closest brothers they were riding by my side and we watched a golden eagle flying circles in the sky and we smiled as our eyes met for our joy, we could not hide yes, we loved to hunt and ride it was good to be alive before you came brother, take my hand and we will walk this magic land together sister, look on high and you will see that storms are building in your skies woh, do you wonder why? and when the sun was dying we had reached the sacred hills and the sky it caught on fire and all the land was still it was here all wrapped in blankets in our younger days that we fasted and we listened oh the night would bring us visions before you came Brother, take my hand for we must hold our father's land together Sister, look around and you will see the scars of battle on this ground Woh, do you hear the sound? I dreamed... that I was riding in a South Dakota field And, the sweet grass whispered to me as I rode oh the sun it was at midday it shown hot across my face and our land lay still in grace is a crystal silent place Before you came...
