Sandstone Medicine Teach me your lessons of resilience Towering hundreds of feet above me Iron Red-Orange Made of Earth's blood You've stood patient as rivers lashed through you trying to erode your body as tectonic force roared upward looking for something to give But here you stand Wearing your scars proudly Now they adorn you Like beautiful pieces of jewlrey Telling stories of a time long before now Sandstone Medicine Singing to me songs of resilience

Sandstone Medicine
Sandstone Medicine Teach me your lessons of resilience Towering hundreds of feet above me Iron Red-Orange Made of Earth's blood You've stood patient as rivers lashed through you trying to erode your body as tectonic force roared upward looking for something to give But here you stand Wearing your scars proudly Now they adorn you Like beautiful pieces of jewlrey Telling stories of a time long before now Sandstone Medicine Singing to me songs of resilience
