San Jacinto Lyrics

Thick cloud - steam rising - hissing stone on sweat lodge fire
Around me - buffalo robe - sage in bundle - run on skin
Outside - cold air - stand, wait for rising sun
Red paint - eagle feathers - coyote calling - it has begun
Something moving in - I taste it in my mouth and in my heart
It feels like dying - slow - letting go of life
Medicine man lead me up though town - Indian ground - so far down
Cut up land - each house - a pool - kids wearing water wings
   - drink in cool
Follow dry river bed - watch Scout and Guides make pow-wow signs
Past Geronimo's disco - Sit 'n' Bull steakhouse - white men dream
A rattle in the old man's sack - look at mountain top - keep
   climbing up
Way above us the desert snow - white wind blow

I hold the line - the line of strength that pulls me through the
   fear
San Jacinto - I hold the line
San Jacinto - the poison bite and darkness take my sight - I hold
   the line
And the tears roll down my swollen cheek - think I'm losing it -
   getting weaker
I hold the line - I hold the line
San Jacinto - tellow eagle flies down from the sun - from the sun

      We will walk - on the land
      We will breathe - of the air
      We will drink - from the stream
      We will live - hold the line
