It's a long, hard road to the glory land, I'm starting my good work now Spirit's gonna take me by the hand, if I start my praying now The Earth's in trouble, the people too; I'm looking for a sign Gonna leave my wanton, worried ways and troubled past behind The demons are hot on my trail tonight But my spirit's strong and my eyes are bright Twelve burning moons, it's been a long year But I won't disappear, no I won't disappear, no I won't disappear My good ghosts will speak to me in dreams and the eyes of creatures I'll sing the songs that come along from strange, enchanting teachers I never knew what a prayer could do until they started coming true Music is the medicine where fear and greed once grew The demons are hot on my trail tonight But my mind is calm and my heart is light Twelve burning moons, it's been a long year But I won't disappear, no I won't disappear, no I won't disappear
