From the dust of which I came   To dust I return again   From my mother I am torn   With my brothers off the war      We escape before the dawn   Trying to outrun the sun   Take my own life in my hands   Fearing God but never man      Take my ancient hand   Look me in the eye   Looking past the lines   Soon you'll see as I      You are young if you want   You could be old if you try   I can show you how to live   But you can't show me how to      As the sun stalks the sky   I am not afraid to die   My ear upon the ground   For the iron horse's sound      Encircle glowing rocks   One by one each chieftain talks   Tales of yore and bravest deeds   Coveting their warrior creed      Take my ancient hand   Look me in the eye   Looking past the lines   Soon you'll see as I      You are young if you want   You could be old if you try   I can show you how to live   But you can't show me how to      Show me how to die, yeah      Take my ancient hand   Look me in the eye   Looking past the lines   Soon you'll see as I      You are young if you want   You could be old if you try   I can show you how to live   But you can't show me how to      My hands will bridge the distance   Of beginning to the end   The time for learning ceases   It was all wasted and spent      From witch doctor to shaman   Kachina doll to chief   The spirit knows what ails you   You beg for its relief      All that I know, all that I say   My heart beats and my pulse drums   Out tribal rhythms   Pounding through the sky      Pounding through the sky   Pounding through the sky   Pounding through the sky, hey
