I was given my own destiny
that I chose to decide
that would help me through
with a calling in the wind
I heard a Wolf howl alone
and on that path I knew
was the one meant for me
for a journey I would soon begin
with my name now written in stone
Ancestor's wait to walk by my side
to guide me with truth and wisdom
through life's storms I would see
of what from me was to be
a Warrior I would now become

Go to sleep my Angel blue
may Heaven watch over you
and when you wake
my love will be there for you to take
hush now and close your eyes
and for you I will sing a lullaby
into a lovers dream of paradise
let the night quietly fade
into what we have and made
and let a lovers dream touch the sky
down on you and I
Spiritwind ©2016

I know I am far from perfect
nor do I claim myself to be
just like you I have made my mistakes
but I have learned along the way
that is just the way it is
and I can only be me

I have saw what it takes
to live and to be only human
and sometimes this road can been long
at times things here won't come easy
but I still hold my head high
I will keep myself strong
and know that it won't remain like this

No matter how much I fall still I'll try
and make the best of what I can
all the past I can't change so I'll have no regret
and I have learned to treat this life with respect
because it is the only one I will get

Behind her tortured eyes
she runs and she hides
trying to **** the pain
where alone she cries
longing for what was no more

In the night as she rides
through the falling rain
filled with the screams
and sad broken lullabies
caught in her dreams
of all what is left to remain

Behind her tortured eyes
her heart alone dies
trapped inside a place
that she can never replace
between reality and paradise
where Heaven burns the skies

In a world where alone she tries
to save herself from a falling grace
with her tears she tries to refrain
looking through a soul of shame
where an Angel now holds the blame

Behind her tortured eyes
with nothing to lose anymore
and nothing left here to gain
trying to find herself again
in what she once had before
that only promised her lies

Behind her tortured eyes
she waits for love to open another door
to what she has been searching for
where emotions of love and hate collides
Spiritwind ©2016

You came into my life a dream
a beautiful that I have never seen
you gave a world to me
a love I could never see

You touched me with a light of Heaven
a beautiful made in a sky of blue
and gave to me, me to you
with your smile that made me live again

And at night when the stars shine
it's your heart I hold close to mine
as I hold you close to me
a beautiful forever through time
Spiritwind ©2016

There was a time life was so simple
behind every book was a story to tell
of love that would shine a better place
a smile would send you on your way
that would wish another well

Now the faces all come so unclear
that only show shadows of people
of those outside of God's temple
that got lost somewhere along the way
hiding behind all that they fear

Once there was a dream of life in a fairytale
until the world watched a Heaven turn to Hell
seeing love burn the world with hate
it was all that some could only show
as demon's from the dark of another's soul
opened the door to another fire's gate
as the flame burned through

Refusing to hear what the heart would say
while one by one they stood and fell
falling from the light of Heaven's grace
not believing in all that was true
left now with a price to pay
Spiritwind ©2016

Where dreams are made
our love will begin
when the tears fade
as clouds pass by
love will shine again
where lips whisper a name
the fire will burn a flame
hearts beat what love should feel
as soul's touch what is real
a love lost will be a love to win
as a smile will catch the wind
and love's beauty will light the sky
with our love that will never die
forever will be yours and mine
through the eternity of time
Spiritwind ©2016

I saw forever in a face
a world of fantasy
from a love that I embrace
in her heart I found a place
that kept me safe and warms
a soul like a fire's burning flame
from a falling of a winter's snow
as the wind whispers her name
into a summer's sun glow
with a change of every season
from a love I found a reason
to see beyond a horizon so wide and free
as I held her in my arms
a life from a love and her beauty
where in a springtime's bloom
together we forever dance
and dreams start anew another chance
that's shine's down like an Autumn's moon
Spiritwind ©2016

Days left inside of loneliness
with pain in her tears
weeps tomorrow's sadness
she carried so many years
of that she would need

Holding on to her joy
of a yesterday she use to enjoy
that she now can't let go
her heart is left to bleed
all what she use to know

In her dreams comes alive her fears
a love's past from so long ago
where through the darkness
her light will no longer show

Through her emptiness
weeps tomorrow's sadness
from now a stranger's kiss
that once held her close
like a drug that became an overdose
Spiritwind ©2016

I am a child of the moon
in the night you can see me prowl
through the canyon's and the trees
you can hear my lonesome howl

I am the wild of a Winter's snow
that brings life to a Springtime bloom
through silence you can hear my echo
calling out a serenade cry

I am nature's one true beauty
born to run and forever free
against the wind's silent breeze
where my Spirit ride's the sky
Spiritwind ©2016

I dance through this life's journey
and feel the beat of a drums rhythm
blessed on this road for all that's given
surrounded by all of life's beauty
letting my Spirit wrap around it's freedom
while through life's echoes silently I sit and listen
as on the wind it's speaks to me a truth of wisdom
teaching me life's lessons still to learn
filling an emptiness with a Peace I yearn
Spiritwind ©2016

Time would pass by
as the nights would fade
and days would go
still I would never forget
the color in your eyes
that hid behind the lies

Seasons would change
the outline in the sky
as autumn leaves would fall
and turn to a winter snow
spring would bring the rain
and summer laid still
with a heart in pain
as the dreams would remain

Tears would wash away
with waves on a sandy shore
out to a lonely sea
where you I could still see
remembering my yesterday
and the promises we made

Under a full moon silent
alone I would sit
stuck inside a memory
wondering where it all went
trying to rearrange
everything that I feel
as I tear down this wall
back to where I was before
Spiritwind ©2016

Love cried the tears
of a thousand yesterdays
with each moment you were gone
as I count the raindrops falling
while each one fell alone
with all the lonely days
I found myself for you waiting

I listened to waves crashing
on a silent empty shore
where we wrote forever in the sand
while I held onto your hand
but couldn't feel no more
as I watched the night fade away

I heard the winds of time calling
where you once danced under a starlit sky
that were only memories of years
that now just pass on by
and got me lost somewhere along the way

I felt my heart beating
broken into and bleeding
where you couldn't be found
as I closed my eyes to see
only dreams that brought me down
where you're no longer next to me

(Also this I ask of you)  
Equa Unitsi Elohino
(Great Mother Earth)  

We walked in peace and harmony
warriors brave and strong
guided by the Great Spirit in the sky
respecting the way of Mother Earth
we taught this to our children at birth

We were all but one, just like the Eagle, we were free
this was our way, the way it would always be
with our wings spread, we would fly
this was our Native American Pride

Then white man came to take our land
said our way of life was wrong
this is what they would decide
and it didn't take them long

Still we didn't run and hide
we stood tall and made our stand
never to carry the white man's brand
this was our Native American Pride

For our own beliefs, so many died
both women and children cried
as one by one, all was lost
at the white man's cost

Said the color of their skin, made them right
but we didn't give in, without a fight
no matter how hard they would try
they couldn't break our Native American Pride
Spiritwind ©2010

I let you have my heart
and done what it would take
to be your everything
I wanted you to see
that there was more to me
than what meets the eye

I tried to show to you
a world we could get through
yeah and I gave you the sky
so you could fly
for you I thought I could die

But in the end
only dead flowers you would send
with all the promises you would break
yeah only misery you would bring
with a broken love's heartache
is all you could give back to me
Spiritwind ©2016

On the wings of paradise
she gave to me her love
like diamonds shining up above
that glitter through the sky

I saw her love for me in her eyes
on the wings of Heaven
and felt the passion of her sin
as I touched softly upon her skin
caught up in her every moment
lost in every second with her spent

Feeling inside me a new kind of high
on the wings of serenity
I found in her an Angel of fantasy
wakening in dreams of my reality
where I searched and she found me
in the shadow of her beauty
Spiritwind ©2015

I felt a breeze in the wind
bring a calmness through me
gently that blew
that caught my dreams
and let me in
a world I never knew

I saw fire light the sky
in clouds passing by
on a day starting new
as peace inside me grew

I felt the rivers and streams
like blood through my veins flow
as I let love shine within
from deep inside of my soul

I opened my wings and flew
and let my troubles go
as my eyes started to see
all that was waiting for me

I let Heaven bring serenity
to a heart pain would only show
as I wiped my tears away
with thanks I started to pray
and let a new journey begin
Spiritwind ©2014

I gave you hope in your heart
when you were down
and brought you a laugh and smile
when you could only frown
to let you see Angels were around

I made you see a different view
when you were only feeling blue
I walked that extra mile
when you were falling apart
and gave you a reason to believe
that faith would never leave
while I stood here on my own

I poured out to you my soul
what Creator gave to me to show
in words that were meant to heal
when your patience wore thin
and you couldn't be still

I let you see the pain I had within
of all that has fallen on me
at times were hard to get through
and let you see a life I had to live
that many wouldn't understand
or even couldn't do
as I stood here alone

I let you cry while I took your hand
to pick you up when you couldn't stand
I been there and gave you my all
when you only watched me fall
still I reached out to give
so a brighter tomorrow you could see

I let you see a side of me
that would comfort with sympathy
when you had nothing left to hold on to
when your dreams would only fade away
I showed you love would forever be
that would always remain and stay
with kindness of other's in each day
while I lived all the tears that I have shown
Spiritwind ©2016

All the words once we spoken
the promises are now left broken
with each beat of a heart crying
it was just one more heartbreak
of a soul alone dying
all the fighting and things meant to say
it only left us both bleeding
just wanting to walk away
it was more than we could take
though diamond's turned to dust
and love burned away all the trust
still it was us we were needing
Spiritwind ©2016

Your love was all that I needed
when there was no one else there
all the times I would cry and pleaded
just for you not to leave
I would find in myself to believe
that you would feel the same for me

I held on dreams you made me see
to not let them disappear
as I would catch a falling tear
praying through the night you would stay
that in your heart you would still care
and feel the same as we use to be

I tried to give you the love I had
that would wash away your sad
to keep you from walking away
but in the end it didn't matter anyway
I couldn't make you feel the same
whenever you would hear my name
Spiritwind ©2016

In my heart is an ache
for a place that I belong
out where the Desert's lake
meets a lonesome sunset sky

Her waters deep they flow
here deep inside my soul
where her beauty shines upon the sand
to the mountains that reach up high

Her Spirit's dance to take my hand
where the River's come rushing by
from tears she has caught falling
that she has often watched me cry

And through the wind I hear her calling
the echoes of her sweet undying song
where my love for her will never die
Spiritwind ©2016

Her tears fell from a sky
like a river moving swiftly
through pain and misery
she could not forget

Her heart beating cold
from a love she couldn't hold
as the storms rushed by
the dreams that made her cry

She held the memories of reget
that killed a soul deep within
that blinded the eyes to see
what remained of her reality
and left her alone there

Chained to love lost in despair
that she can't break free
and will never be again
Spiritwind ©2016

What would it take
for the dreams I would share
to always keep you near
where would it take us
if I gave you the love and trust
and promised you forever here

Tell me what it would be
if I gave you the best of me
what would your heart see
in a Heaven that I could make
girl if I gave you all of me

Would you lye in a bed of Rose's
that I would give to you
would you open your arms
to follow me wherever I would go
if I gave you what was in my soul
that kept you safe and warm
and keep you from all the harm

Would you let your light shine
if I gave you all that was mine
would you hold on to me there
in a paradise of fantasy
that only true love knows
Spiritwind ©2016

I felt love and I felt pain
I soaked up the sun
and I stood in the rain
I felt the winds of freedom
and knew what it was to run
I seen days brightly shine
and wished days would never come

I knew the happiness
of a lover's kiss
and tasted the tears I cried
from what I would miss
I knew what it was to be alive
and wished at times I could've died

I saw a rainbow that was only mine
while the storms would subside
and felt myself alone
when I struggled to survive
with nobody there by my side
with only dreams that only lied

I felt the hands of tenderness
calm me like an Angels lullaby
times wished stars wouldn't light the sky
and gave up hope to not have even tried

I saw the world just pass me by
then felt the Heaven's gentleness
reach down on me a Angels caress
as I just wanted to hide
Spiritwind ©2016

We speak words of wisdom
when the heart is full of sadness
sometimes thoughts of happiness
when we bless the morning sun
other times just for fun
that's where a true poet comes from

We speak these words of poetry
in a timeless past
a masterpiece so vast
where motions and emotions
rush by so fast

We are all, but only one
on a empty highway lane
frost like snowflakes
on a window payne
we hold not the anger
from within
but express our lonliness
with paper and pen

Though our days are not forever
our words will always last
in this world of reality
like hours that never pass
through pastures of green grass
we're just pieces of shattered glass
Spiritwind ©1997

I have had my dreams I made
with the night only fade
watched all that I would hope
in flame's go all up in smoke

I seen the world around me cruel
as I played a King
to only turn out to be the fool
waiting for a tomorrow
that what yesterday couldn't bring

I felt pain drowning in my sorrow
seeing what life would only take
that it could no longer borrow
dying inside to feel awake
with what I could not now make

But through it all I kept my head held high
****** it in and stood with pride
when the Devil walked by my side
I held my hands up and reached for the sky
for life is a game we sometimes can't choose
and I was bound here not to lose
Spiritwind ©2016

Sometimes when you feel the rain
it seems to be coming down and pour
when the troubles come and take hold
and the worries all seem to unfold
left with only a heart that won't mend

You wonder why all the pain
and how much you can take in more
as you feel the world turning cold
trying to see brighter side of things
as your held down on broken wings
underneath a darkened black sky
where your dreams once soared high
now you're unable to even fly

Not looking to what tomorrow brings
you keep the faith not wanting to let go
but only tears come and show
when your only coming down so low
just trying to pick yourself up again
as you wait for the bad times to end
so you can let life live and begin
Spiritwind ©2016

I seen dreams at the edge of a rainbow
and followed vision's where I was lead to go
to where I stood once long ago

I walked a journey down a Indigenous man's road
where Ancestor's stories were now left for me to be told

I felt the beat of a Warrior's drum
where Spirit's danced as now for me they come
to learn of things they would show

I heard the sound of Thunder across an Indigenous man's sky
as Ancestor's would reach for me
to teach me ways of their wisdom
in a world left behind for me to hold

I looked through the eye's of an Eagle fly
as our Spirit's forever soared high
bound together as one in Unity

With a Wolves heart beating through my soul
I touched Mother Earth and now I'm free
as my path laid ahead for what I would become
Spiritwind ©2016

Days wasted on memories
time healing what one no longer sees
dreams fading into a reality
that is no longer for me

The night no longer will sleep
with a soul I can no longer keep
while tears are left to weep
in a hole I dug so deep
buried with what I have from within

Looking through a mirror of lies
where pain comes alive inside
and misery knocks to come in
in a place I can no longer stay
where no one hears the cries

Feeling a ghost inside of me
where he will no longer hide
taking away my yesterday
and all I once use to be
that I can no longer see
in a world that only dies
Spiritwind ©2016

There is a place somewhere
out where I would want to be
with just a true love to share
if I could find her out there
just waiting for me
beyond the doubts of fear

There is a love to dream
that I would like to take
for her to come with me and make
where love would fill the air
and on the wind we would ride free
into our own quiet serenity
that only we could see

With an emptiness inside
that I keep here in my heart
waiting for her to be by my side
with a love to dream
that we could never part
on the wings of a fantasy scene
that would last a lifetime forever
two souls meant to be together
Spiritwind ©2016

My tomorrow would not matter
if you were gone
and all of my yesterday
would be only another memory
of what I would not have today
if our love we have went astray

My dreams would only just be
a sadness of my reality
that would be lost in forever
if I could not make you stay
there would be no other place
that my heart would belong
if you were to just walk away

My love for you would never die
if I never saw the beauty
you shined down on me with grace
my nights would be left empty
and my days cold and long
if you were only to just walk by

My eyes would have tears to cry
filled with only days of lonely
if you were no longer around
here by my side longing for me
I would have no where left to go
no love in me left to show
and nothing in me to be found
if you were to say goodbye
Spiritwind ©2016

I thought that after you
I wouldn't make it through
that once I lived the pain
it would only be the heartache
that all would remain

Dreaming of what I knew
where no other love would do
I believed it was only you
to give to me
what no one else could make

Thinking tears would always fall
I thought I been through it all
after you left my heart to break
I believed no more I could take

But after all was done and said
in another I found the beauty
of what you never gave to me
where I saw a love shine true
that showed me something new

Now that she has gave to me
what in you I could not see
I learned to dance through the rain
where I thought love was dead
and now my soul is free
Spiritwind ©2016

What would it have to take
for us all to see
what together our dreams would make
where do you think we'd be
if we all sang in harmony
to burn a flame in a candlelight
and know what we are doing is not right

When we look at another just to fight
do you think to **** another
will heal the heart of a mother
to say it's all for the love of God's glory
and was written in His final chapter
at the end of His story
when there's nothing left for us to wake

Do you believe it will make it alright
when you got a life in your control
or do you care to even know
that it could be your sister or brother
looking through a barrel of a loaded gun
to know he's going to die young
where you pull the trigger on the run

Do you believe this is where we belong
under a blood sky bleeding the sun
what is it in the end you will say
when our children all die young
afraid to look and face another day
when violence is only heard in a song
in places where they all use to play

We all speak the word of Peace
but for a life we'll take it please
it will be our pleasure to watch you bleed
to know you'll beg just to die young
where the Angels have already sung
with the hatred already planting the seed
Spiritwind ©2016

We walked through endless miles
at times we thought we could never make it
but through it all we would take it
and kept our dreams where love shines and smiles

We took the tears of our yesterday
and found the good in every tomorrow
when our hearts filled with sorrow
we let our love find it's way
and took this time we could only borrow
through it all we saw a better day

When words said we wished we could forget
that were spoken we soon would regret
we let love see past the pain
and knew what we had would remain
through it all we couldn't turn away
where love was always meant to stay
Spiritwind ©2016

Take me down
I can't hold you anymore
take me down
you can have what's left of me
as I'm on the floor

Just take the rest of me
and take my heart when you leave
take me down
I can't see you no more
you're not in the lost and found
that's inside of me

You're nowhere around
not even in this memory
of what you and I use to be
take me down
there's no reason to believe
all that you gave to me
was only time slipping away
through my yesterday

Take me down
I can't hear what you say
my tears they won't stay
even after you walk away
I'll make it through the pain
after nothing else will remain
Spiritwind ©2016

I never said I wanted to marry
I never asked if you wanted to dance
just wanted to know that person
you keep locked in your own prison
I just wanted that chance
to know in you what was inside
that you keep buried and hide

I never said I wanted a forever
just wanted to know feelings you carry
the thoughts you kept in your mind
that made you leave love behind
that you can't now seem to find

I never said we should be together
I just wanted to bring you away from that never
that kept you from me through a distance
where your eyes only saw what was blind
that could someday might be
Spiritwind ©2016

I miss the Desert wind
blowing through your hair
and that big open sky
where the night would always shine
as a falling star would pass by

I miss the Springtime bloom
and the Summer heat of June
where thoughts of you I would hold
and I'm missing you

I miss those times together
where we thought it would be forever
walking barefoot through the sand
by the lake near the dam
where we would always go
and I held your hand
while you whispered my name

I miss the small town park
on a midnight stroll
where we kissed under the midnight moon
in the shadow of the dark
where I thought you'd always be mine
and I'm missing you

I miss the morning sunrise
as it warmed the day
to light the love in your eyes
that I swore would never die

I miss the evening sunset
where the dreams would never forget
as long as you were always there
and I'm missing you

I miss the smell in the air
after the falling of a rain
that always brought a rainbow through
and lead me right to you

I miss the miles that would never end
as we got lost along the way
down some empty Desert road
and the smiles you'd always send
with words you would always say
and I'm missing you
Spiritwind ©2016

I see no life, no death
their is no now, no tomorrow
just where we are at the moment
with every step I take
that is my future
this is my living hell
sealed with a devils' kiss
I'm falling off the edge it seems
Blackened by every mistake

And I'm living on a broken heart of dreams
Blackened by the ways you left me used
the bruises clear as evidence
upon my skin
your words still ringing on the phone
wondering if you ever cared at all
was I just a toy that gave you control
either way I'm stuck here
sinking farther down once again
It's my nightmare for a fairytale
that doesn't exist
Blackened year after year

Now I feel not the love
and I feel no hate
days I can feel myself drown
I can't take another breath
trying to escape all of this
is it just a matter of circumstance
Blackened by all that's been done

This world so bent
on your knees' you crawl
as you watch peace fall
in every heart
Blackened by the days to come

These days their is no cure
this is reality
in this troubled land
so full of sorrow
your best friend
now your worse enemy
Blackened by all the pain

No one there to hold your hand
you pray for the promise land above
but do you think you will be ready
to enter the golden gate
when everything is gone
Blackened in the end

I stand here alone
a warrior, not a clone
I show no self cause
this is me, who I am
messed up in the head
I don't think so
I see what you don't see
and be who you can't be
Blackened to the bone

Hell turned upside down
Gods' mercy
here in a world already dead
where goverment politics' has control
they tell you what you want to hear
and still you believe
Blackened by your deepest sin

Like rats in a cage
there is no where to go
while they feast on your soul
ripping and tearing you apart
they watch you bleed
as thousands die
you grieve
Blackened by all you consume

Afraid to make a stand
you hide from your rage
reaching for the sky
as you hunger for freedom
still you don't feed
listening to ******* up laws
telling you what you need
and you follow
with every promise they make
Blackened from within
Spiritwind ©2009

I look up to the sky
where the night passes by
only to see my dreams forgotten
lost inside the confusion
where reality is an illusion
and don't know the reasons why

I see a love once held dear
in my heart I feel disappear
as she runs to another
lost in dreams forgotten
now that are gone forever
that won't come back again

Looking for a way to ease the pain
with only the sadness to remain
trying to leave it all behind
with only the tears left to cry
from eyes I can't refrain

With the emptiness I can't restrain
lost in my dreams forgotten
I look for a love I can't find
that was once so near
now only shadows in my mind
that are not so clear
Spiritwind ©2016

Times are in despair
I see corruption in law
now you're so despondent
this world seperated in dichotomy
now becoming a one world goverment

Soldiers, one by one
watch them all fall
fighting for a right, without reason
all for greed of this land
take this life if you dare
blood spills only in your hand
under this morning sun

To the front of the line, my forgotten son
you will die for treason
if it's not for me
on your knees you will crawl
eyes blackened, you can't see
this is the land of our free

One world under one nation
yet we still don't agree
dying salvation
just take what is not yours
sign of the times you ignore
blood stained fields even more
like rain it pours
Spiritwind ©2009

I am a Spirit's messenger
through their eye's I show you visions
so you may see hope on a darkened road
of a future up to us to change and hold

I share with you a place of peace and unity
and carry with me their voices
on the winds of four directions

Their strength and wisdom flow through me
so that I may open eye's to understand
the truth in which they give me to see

Together as one we all share this land
and we must all as one stand
side by side hand in hand
to bring balance and harmony
before all is lost in a sickened world forever

I don't need your false religion that you try to sell
telling me if I want to save myself from hell
that the only way is to give you ***** money
through your lies I can see
taking more from me than you need

Don't need your hypocritical judgement
telling me your words are heaven sent
while you just feed on your greed
and try to condemn me
crusifying me because of the blood I bleed

And I don't need your so called politicial dream
while you keep on ****** this land
and destroy it all by your own hand
crusifying me for making a stand

With the rivers flowing like a blood bathe stream
you take all that you can
and telling me I'm wrong for who I am
crusifying me because I'm more of a man
than you could ever be

Out of the darkness
of the shadow of my soul
a light came shining upon me
shining through of all living things
her nature's sweet caress

And as I gazed in the beauty
I could feel Mother's wings
wrap me in her serenity
feeling the touch of her gentle kiss
through winds that blew softly

I felt her soothing over me
like a child lost in time
in a place of long ago
where her love shelters me
like a sky that covers me
the brightness of her sunshine

I know I am far from perfect
I am only just a man
there are things that I have done
that can never be undone

At times there has been doubt
and faith has been put to test
to find just what life was about
my soul has seen the darkness
at times pain has taken it's toll
and from me at times took the best

Still in me a light would reflect
as an Angel's touch I would feel caress
at times when I would lose control

I know that I am only human
and what I done I can't regret
for it was only lessons to be shown
from what I would not have known

At times I have felt the worries of the day
and faced the troubles that came my way
trying to see ahead as I let the heart rest
while to the Heaven's I would pray
to ease all my sorrows away

And though I may never forget
the mistakes that I have made
in Creator's hand I will remain unafraid

I hear all the secrets you keep
when you lye next to me
your breath that whispers
all the hurting inside
show on your tear stained pillow
when you're asleep

I know the pain you hide
the ghost outside
that lurks through the window
under the weeping willow
where our love has died

Lonely cast's it's shadow
as the empty cuts deep
you don't let it show
but in your eyes I see
what has become of you and I

Through the sadness you cry
where you dream no more of me
and love fades and withers
under the Weeping Willow
where I had to let you go

You sit there in your politician suit
thinking of more ways just to take
with the devil's grin
and your hands buried deep in sin
you steal everything from us
with the promise's you make

While our people bleed
in a broken society
from hunger, despair, and poverty
you fill your hearts with greed
then wonder why we don't trust

You push us aside
treat us as if we came to your land
and took everything from you
though we tried to forgive
still you show no respect for our kind
and treat us with no dignity

Years of genocide
we struggled through
never to leave our own behind
but soon our time will come
as mighty warriors
we will make a stand
changing all that you done
no longer will we hide
in the shadow of the white man
we will once again live

With your love it kills me
as your hate it fills me
with all that you say
still your heart steals me
with the beauty you show
while I try to walk away

Torn between each emotion
caught in your deadly potion
as I only try to leave
but still try to believe
that there's something here
left between you and me

Sometimes I look at love blind
other times I can see
that you're no good for me
as I reach out to hold you
only wanting to let you go

Still in you I look to find
what I can't leave behind
as I hide behind the fear
of not having you near
but know we can never be
with nothing left to get us through
that will forever remain
that's bleeding behind the pain
Spiritwind ©2016

I feel you breathe under my skin
with this love I don't know where to begin
torn between every mixed emotion
lost in this state of confusion
where my dreams become an illusion
that haunts me over and over again

Your shadow only a ghost of this memory
I can't escape from my mind
I try to leave it all behind
with these days gone I can't rewind

I see a world here without you
that's got me feeling like I do
still wanting you here with me
finding it hard to let you go
as you burn inside my soul

I am the giver of light
the shadows in the night
I am the waters that flows
and all that grows
I am the wind that blows
I am all the good that shows
I am the keeper of love
and all the stars from above
I am the clouds passing by
the mountains that reach the sky
I am the deserts glittering sand
and the sun gleaming bright
I am the one who holds your hand
when you have lost your sight
I am the wisdom that all knows
I am the way everyone soon goes

I am one with all that is sacred
with Mother Earth I am her Holy child
I am free as the wind
my Spirit runs forever wild
I am a part of everything
that the future will bring
I am the beginning of an end
to give life to all that is dead
I walk in shadows of the night
where even Angels will fear to tread
I am the wings of an Eagle in flight
soaring an endless sky
I am hope that will never die

You speak with words of religious
while you persecute and condemn
as you look down on another
and call it in the name of Christianity

With your own tongue comes out a hypocrite
with all you speak and you say
through your God you call it His way
that so many share together

But how blind your eyes can see
if you think that this is us
to point and judge another man
as your mouth you open to speak
it just shows you don't understand
and only makes you weak

For my Creator has the love
that shines down on all from above
who's Heaven all are welcome to come in
and this you seem to forget
with the words of hate you speak
