Ghost Dance

What is it children that falls from the sky?

Tayi, taya, tayi, aye ya

Mannah from Heaven from most high

Food from the Father, tayi, taye ya

We shall live again, we shall live again

We shall live again, shake out the grief

Peace to your brother, give and take heed

Tayi, taya, it left two feet

One foot extended, snake to the ground

Wave of the Earth, one turn around

We shall live again, we shall live again

We shall live again, shake out the grief, babe

Stretch out your arms now dip and sway

Fruit of thy bird, tayi, taya

Threw off your shoe, haul off the sow

Dust off the words that shape from the tale

We shall live again, we shall live again

We shall live again, shake out the ghost dance

Here we are, Father, here, Holy Ghost

Bread of your bread, host of your host

We are the tears that fall from your eyes

Word of your word, cry of your cry

We shall live again, we shall live again

We shall live again, we shall live

What is it, Father, in your eye

What is this grave sign, eyes to cry

Blood of my baby, well, just what I need

What is it, hide me, way off to speed

Who is it, Father, holy that night?

What is it, Father, that moves to the right?

What is it, Father, isn't it pain?

What is it, Father, that shapes from your main?

What is it, Father, supposed to be brave?

A lot of questions, the right to live

What is it, baby, I can't do

Your mama loves you, I'm dying, too

I won't forget you, never lie

I'll always love you till I die...
