Standing Rock

Firm as rock... we'll stand

We'll defend... this sacred land
Bring your drums... prayers
Earth's water... we must conserve
So peacefully... let's declare
That in unity... we care

She... (Sister Moon)

Feathered, is the wind that blows about her face  

Her strength, of fire, framed with subtle grace

Mellow, is her mood of dreams left still to come

Her bright, diaphanous soul, shimmers in the sun

Transcendent, butterfly-spirit... she inspires us all  

An ambience of fluidity, can be heard within her call 

Proud prodigy of peace... seeping love into the sky

A prophet of eminence... the elders heard her cry

Your Words

your words... 
perplexing curlicues
decorate my mind

Misunderstood

What you don't see

Are the tears which I've cried

What you don't see

Is that I could... of lied

What you don't see

Are my hopes... laid bare

What you don't see

Is that I really do... care!

What you don't see

Are my demons within

What you don't see

Is I try... so hard... not to sin

What you don't see

Are the fears which I hide

What you don't see

Is that I'm dying... daily... inside

What you don't see

Are the dreams which I fight 

What you don't see

Is my eternal night

What you don't see

Are my empty... futile... days

What you don't see

Is I'm lonely... since you went away

What you don't see

Are your words, torturing me

What you don't see

Is I long... just... to be

What you don't see

Are your actions... also planted the seeds

What you don't see

Is my love... plainly written to read 

What you don't see

Are the times... I've so needed you here

What you don't see

Is that I hold your opinion... so dear 

What you don't see

Are that my intentions are good

What WE don't see

Is why I think... we've... misunderstood
