lyrics

A Grandfather once told me,
It takes a cunning man to really live free.
Any fool can work his life,
To rent his house,
His land, his air and his light.

He said don’t act dim, don’t hide your eye.
Don’t play their game, don’t buy their lies.
Don’t bow your head, like they tell you too
And don’t let them put their shame on you

He said, I was born on the evening breeze,
I was born by the growing trees,
I was born neath the shining star,
He said, travel on and go far.

He said trust the wicked to be their own kind.
Trust the beauty you know you’ll find.
Trust the Sky, the Earth and the Sea.
Trust the spirits all around me.

He said, you can tell if your on the right track,
By all of the arrows shot in your back.
Don’t think they make a heavy load,
There just there to point the right road.

Never mind them shooting at you,
There just there to help you push through.
He said the people shooting don’t understand,
That an arrow in the back is an helping hand.
