Nahko Bear - Great Spirit lyrics

[Intro] So which wolf will you feed One makes you strong, one makes you weak And those who know and those who seek Amidst the chaos, find your peace (yeah) I know which wolf I'll feed I know which wolf I'll feed [Verse 1] Great spirit, I've had it Bring me back to the nomadic Way of weaving through the damage Mindful, stay mindful Great spirit, for my sisters Let me be a flowing river Flood the banks, the rocks that bind her Carry, I'll carry [Chorus] Great, Great Spirit Oh oo oh Great, Great Spirit Oh oo oh [Verse 2] Great spirit, for my brothers Let me be a mountain under Which he climbs to discover His process, now that's progress Great Spirit, all that hinders Tie reminders to my fingers I must speak to you more often Great, Great Spirit Oh oo oh Great, Great Spirit Oh oo oh [Verse 3] Great Spirit, for my relations Give them strength to face racism In every single situation Easy now, go on, speak loud Great Spirit, take me instead Guide me down the road of red Tunkashila, I am shamed, Great Oh Tunkashila, yeah Tunkashila, yeah Tunkashila, yeah Tunkashila, oh yeah [Verse 4] Great Spirit, system collapsed Nothing but the Earth will last And I will be singing sweetly until the darkness And how life is Great Spirit, on my tongue Be still, be still, the time will come When everyone will sing "All Life is Sacred" Well, I'm waiting Great Spirit, my fist is up bringing the power to the people You're a reflection of us Some of you're people can't hear it The cries of the Earth Some of you're people can't feel it The way that it hurts And it hurts, Great Spirit Oh, and it moves, Great Spirit Interconnected in the wreckage of a paradigm on Its way out, its way out Speaking of spiritual lyrical testimonies A spirited lyricist weaving around false prophecies A spirit directed and selected with the message I bring While the ship slowly sinks, I've been directed to sing I'm like a wrecking ball breaking down the walls of the past I made up a list, living off bliss with the last of my cash You're gonna be justified with how you treated the land You're gonna be by my side, when I stand and demand a change Change [Outro] They know not what they do They know not what they do Can we forgive them for that too?
