Medicine Wheel

Medicine wheel, you run your course
And we are jumping through your spokes
We're on an earth walk to the core, to the oldest forest floor
We know forever never ends, it never ends, no it never ends
We're made from circles within circles round one fire
Look to the east and watch the eagle take his flight
It'll change your life!

Medicine wheel, is it our turn in the arms of Mother Earth?
And the four seasons know exactly where we are
A pack of wolves, the setting sun, warrior stars
Will lead our phases as we orbit round like moons
I like to think myself rotating towards you
And all the animals alive, they'll tell us why, tell us why
We're bears in winter and we think it through inside
We're aging snakes and shed our skin to stay alive
They'll change your life!

And if our circles intertwine
Like our legs, our minds, our lives
When we're one circle all ourselves
When there's no line where you begin and where I end
Our tree song up to Father Sky
Is like a thousand person chorus singing behind me
In a lifted melody, I feel the circles of the plates under my feet
And I know exactly where we are
I see a picture that interweaves in tapestries
With colored threads and oyster shells and baby beads
Protect us from a foggy view!
Medicine wheel, remind us now what we'll go through
While we're here on solid land
Let's grab a thread from every side, from every side
'Cause it takes each color we each hold
To make that wheel that we'll design, that we'll design
To make that wheel that we'll design, that we'll design
To make that wheel that we'll design, that we'll design
