about

Inspired by the Backbone of the World, Glacier National Park. A prayer for stewardship and responsibility, for Earth and all her beings.

lyrics

Hail glory to the mountains, the backbone of our world
They’re stony spines tickling the sky keeping up the rhythm and the rhyme
Of a mental drift, it’s a cosmic shift so hum along
A bewitching beat, just shuffle your feet and sing along to this siren song

Wooooaaaah, Woaaaaahh, Woaaaah, La da da da da da da da da da


Howlin' winds they whip up the very marrow of your bones
They’ll fill your lungs with the beat of drums, the past it calls for a brand new start
Memory held within the cracks of her skin, so be advised
That you’ve yet to perceive what’s up her sleeve, the reality is ocean sized

Wooooaaaah, Woaaaaahh, Woaaaah, La da da da da da da da da da


Oh brother wolf I pray you forgive the folly of my kin
The valleys echo silence to mock the indifference of our sin
Feather fur and claw follow different laws ancient as light
Try to truly reach the truth that they teach before its all becomes just shrinking ice

Wooooaaaah, Woaaaaahh, Woaaaah, Oo0o0o0o0o00oo0o0o0o0o0o!


Won’t you come, won't you come and pray with me?
My sister, Coyote
Oh wont you come, wont you come and pray with me?
My sister cay-oh-oh-woah-oh-woah-oh-yo-te?
Oh wont you come, wont you come and pray with me?
My sister,
Down by the mountains feet?
