In the Lakota way of life, Wakan Tanka is the term for “the sacred” or “the divine”. This is usually translated as “The Great Spirit”. However, according to Russell Means, its meaning is closer to “Great Mystery”
[Intro]
Choose your Lord
Choose that name
Choose your saviour
Choose your saviour
Who's gonna save
Who's gonna save you
Choose your Lord, choose your Lord
[Verse 1]
Might be the creator
Might be Jesus
You know it might be Krishna
No more saviour
And no religion
That I cannot make
[Chorus]
I know that God sees you
Just the same
When you're gone
You're hollow bones
When you're gone
Long gone
You're hollow bones
When you're gone
You're hollow bones
Hooh, you're hollow bones
[Verse 2]
When you're down
When you're weak
On your knees
And you cannot speak
Who's gonna save you
Who's gonna save
Oh I believe
Said I believe
God gonna save me
Lord gonna rescue
'Cause I believe
'Cause I believe
There's a different day
For my Lord
You gotta do your best
To find your place
And with my love
Holy love
Holy love
Holy love
[Chorus]
When you're gone
You're hollow bones
When you're gone
Long gone
You're hollow bones
When you're gone
You're hollow bones
You're hooh
You're hollow bones
Creator of the children
Creator of the man
Creator of the woman
That mighty woman
For my love
For my love
For my saviour
Who's gonna save me
Follow my creator
For my love
In my love
From my love
Holy love
A-wakan Tanka
Hare Krishna
'Said hallelujah
Holy love
I said A-Wakan Tanka
For my love for my love
For my love for my love
For my love for my love
For my saviour
For my saviour
The Lord my creator
Who I'll never name
To my own
Said I'm gonna keep
In my heart in my home
In my love not for my own
Said I'm gonna share it
With a heavy load
And I'm-a gonna show it
Not the only one
And I'm a man of God
Said I'm a man of God
I take care of children
I take care of woman
'Cause I respect that woman
Respect that woman
And I teach my children
To do the same
To my dying breath
In God's name
In my creator's name
Oh my Lord
A-wakan Tanka
And hallelujah
Now Hare Krishna
Now Hare Hare
For my love for my love
For my love for my love
For my love for my love
For my love
