Smoke Signals
(L: Schell; M: Cimetta)

From the valley smoke will rise
Signs of chaos and a quick demise
A blanket and fire the way of the brave
To walk with silence is what they crave
Offers of peace with a broken arrow
Up to the heavens so straight and narrow
Killing of buffalo out on the plains
The search for reason or to be sane.

Hunter 
Gatherer
Seeker
Finder.

The distance reveals a memory
Come with me and we shall see
Smoke signals are a sign to follow
A trail of smoke is filled with sorrow
Come with me and we shall see.

The tradition the ritual handed to all
Silent communication hear the call.

Come with me.

Travel with windÑwind will blow
Travel with fireÑfire burns low
Travel with windÑthe wind leads the unknown
Travel with fireÑthe fire leads us home.

The more feathers you own the more you're a man
With teepees on horseback this tribe is a band
Shoot the bow throw the spearÑrun and hide why we fear
The smoke in the distance is drawing near
Celebrate and dance for rain
On reservations feel their pain
Native Americans live so bold 
Totem poles tell the stories old.

Hunter
Gatherer
Seek to find.

The distance reveals a memory
Come with me and we shall see
Smoke signals are a sign to follow
A trail of smoke is filled with sorrow
Come with me and we shall see...
