Hawkwind - Black Elk Speaks Lyrics






Grandfather, Great Mysterious One, you have been always, and before you nothing has been
There is nothing to pray to but you
The star nations all over the Universe are yours
And yours are the grasses of the earth
Day in Day out, you are the light of things
You are older than all weeds
Older than all Things on Earth
Grandfather, all over the world the faces of living things are all alike
In tenderness they have come above the ground
Look upon your children with children in their arms, that they may face the winds and walk the good road to the day of quiet
Teach me to walk the soft earth, a relative to all that is
Sweeten my heart and fill me with life
Give me the strength to understand, and the eyes to see
Help me for without you I am nothing
Hetchetu aloh!

In your throat is a living song
A living spirit song
His name is long life maker
Yes, I'm here to heal
With the healing ways
Of the magic of the ground
And the magic of the earth
So go on my friend
And sing with the healing spirit
With the magic of the ground
With the magic of the earth
And you will spring to life
Through the power of the words
Through the magic of the ground
Through the magic of the earth

    Bernie Sanders quote : We are a nation of immigrants. I am proud to be the son of an immigrant. We must establish a humane immigration policy that stops the demonization and criminalization of communities of color and keeps families together while we push for comprehensive immigration reform.

    It was the speech of the first Black Elk.The book "Black Elk speak" became a cornerstone of the 60's underground culture. But Black Elk had a grand nephew , who is still alive , WALLACE H. BLACK ELK .He deserve even more to be know.You must absoluetly read his book THE SACRED WAY OF THE LAKOTA " written with the collaboration with William S. Lyon
