Reach Up

Big black elk
Sending out a cry
Been starving in the woods
Cause he can’t eat the lies
How’s he s’posed to walk
In a sacred way
If we can’t keep our word
And don’t mean what we say
Smoke signal rises
Over the clouds
Thunder and lightening
Spirits sing loud
Smell the sweet grass
Hear the drum pound
Do a ghost dance
Feet off the ground
Reach up for something higher
We gotta reach up for something higher
First robin sings
A brave first song
She’s calling in the spring
No, it won’t be long
Stop and give thanks
To the light of the dawn
Wise grey clouds
Sing another song
Reach up for something higher
We gotta reach up for something higher
Smell the sweet grass
Hear the drum pound
Do a ghost dance
Feet off the ground
And reach up, yeah reach up
Come on, reach up, reach up
Whoah reach up, yeah reach up
Come on, reach up, reach up
We gotta reach up for something higher
We gotta reach up, reach up, reach up
