Our skin tied over the drum An elder's eyes into the woods did run Children tied into the drum A newborn's tears with the river did run Eagle cries over the drum An ancient seed smiles into the light of the sun While Medusa's head of black snakes Tears through the loss and what remains Praying while dogs snap between labor pains Empty words spoken again and again The Sacred Hoop broken that we're trying to mend So we'll split the light in two we'll split the light in two So we'll split the light in two we'll split the light in two We'll split the light in two we'll spit the light in you Ya-na-we-na-he-ya-wa-na-he-ne Ya-na-we-na-he-ya-wa-na-he-ne-o-a Our men within the drum Spirit ladder starlight the rungs Women feeding the drum Planting kernels of corn awakening has begun Wolf crying over the drum Ancient seeds smile into the light of the sun While Medusa's head of black snakes Tears through the loss and what remains Praying while dogs snap between labor pains Empty words spoken again and again The Sacred Hoop broken that we're trying to mend So we'll split the light in two we'll split the light in two So we'll split the light in two we'll split the light in two We'll split the light in two we'll spit the light in you Ya-na-we-na-he-ya-wa-na-he-ne Ya-na-we-na-he-ya-wa-na-he-ne-o-a
