Hold me close please Mother Earth
Help me Father Sky
I’ve drifted from the good red road
I’m living in a lie
My Spirit’s wounded deeply
I hide beneath a cloud
I tremble like a child
In fear of thunder loud
I had a drink when I was young
It took away my fear
But robbed me of my spirit
As I drank through the years
I brought myself dishonor
I brought myself to shame
I brought myself to looking
For someone else to blame
Help me please Creator
For wisdom please to see
The cause of all my problems
All belongs to me
Hold me close please Mother Earth
Help me Father Sky
I’ve drifted from the Good Red Road
I’m living in a lie
Help me please my brothers
Who have fallen just like me.
I hear that you have changed your ways.
The Spirit sets you free.
Please my brothers teach me
The things that I should know
So I can hold my head up high
And walk the good red road.
