New Mexico

Oh the light Full moon upon us The ancient world The coyotes cry The dogs are running now My heart is racing now My body's pacing now But we're all in stride I can feel the drums inside I can hear the buffalo I can feel the uprise I can hear the Spanish cries On the Pueblo This is my New Mexico This is where my battle cries This is where my father died This is how the falcon flies This is where my poet lives This is where my feathers rise This is where the wreckage lies This is where I first came alive On the Pueblo And I can hear the heart beat In everything around me And I can hear the heart beat In everything around me Now the time has come Both our worlds have spun I'll take some sage from yours And leave you light from mine I'll lay the head dress down I'll pray to St. Jerome That my wings won't fail me now When I fly back home From the Pueblo And I can hear the heart beat In everything around me And I can hear the heart beat In everything around me
