Nahko Bear - Risk it lyrics

Every cell is transforming And returning to original concepts to construct And then I started to shapeshift And the animals within me grew tails and the talons I hitched a ride on the back of a whale To the darkest of the ocean and ate off the bottom And then I traveled dimensions In the places I rode upon elephants and zebras Elephants and zebras Well I dreamed of my future big time, yeah What it would be like to always have clean water And if you left the trees standing And they filtered the air and we breathed it in deeply Well I traveled across Native America I saw the sickness taking form in all the small children Well if I could give you my people, yeah Well a piece of my peace will be with you always If I could give you my people, yeah Well a piece of my peace will be with you always Be with you always Be with you always I never thought I needed medicine but I was spiritually dying I needed some healing So I opened my mouth and took a dose of the music Then I stopped and prayed for guidance now teach me to use it I prayed for guidance yeah teach me to use it I prayed for guidance now give me the music And it definitely matters how you look at it And it definitely matters how you look at it So if you think you can risk it, well What an opportunity to be free of it Well if you think you can risk it, well What an opportunity to be free of it I heard, I heard yeah the wild horses I were blazing trails through uncertain territory I take a toke and reflect with coyote I were dreaming up new ways to bring the outcasts home I take my place in the choir I was singing the songs of freedom and progress And we're delivering the babies yeah And we're building up the next seven generations Said we're delivering the babies yeah And we're building up the next seven generations Seven generations Seven generations I never thought I needed medicine but I was spiritually dying I needed some healing So I opened my mouth and took a dose of the music Then I stopped and prayed for guidance now teach me to use it I prayed for guidance now teach me to use it I prayed for guidance now give me the music And it definitely matters how you look at it And it definitely matters how you look at it So if you think you can risk it, well What an opportunity to be free of it Said if you think you can risk it, well What an opportunity to be free of it Mouthing off Such aggressive behavior I'm sounding off Holding my temper It comes in waves My enemies swim close to me My heart's displaced Connected to such bravery My hunger waits I cannot swallow, I cannot swallow I am all over the place My spirit bellows, My spirt bellows I am on my way My body follows, my body follows Written on my face Well do not follow, do not follow...me
