Thick cloud steam rising
Hissing stone on sweat lodge fire
Around me buffalo robe
Sage in bundle rub on skin
Outside cold air stand, wait for rising sun
Red paint eagle feathers
Coyote calling it has begun
Something moving in
I taste it in my mouth and in my heart
It feels like dying slow letting go of life
[Chanting]
Medicine man lead me up through town
Indian ground so far down
Cut up land each house a pool
Kids wearing water wings drink in cool
Follow dry river bed watch Scouts and Guides make
Pow-wow signs
Past Geronimo's Disco Sitting Bull's Steakhouse white men dream
A rattle in the old man's sack
Look at mountain top keep climbing up
Way above us the desert snow white wind blow
I hold the line
The line of strength that pulls me through the fear
Taken from AlbumSongAndLyrics.comSan Jacinto I hold the line
San Jacinto the poison bite
And darkness take my sight
I hold the line
And the tears roll down my swollen cheek
Think I'm losing it getting weaker
I hold the line I hold the line
San Jacinto yellow eagle flies down from the sun
from the sun
We will walk on the land
We will drink from the stream
We will breathe of the air
We will live hold the line
Hold the line
Hold the line
We will live
Hold the line
Hold the line
