Follow the Sun

waiting for the sun  to rise
they danced
to the left always to the left
follow the sun, the path of life
hearing the songs, each voice clear, strong, beautiful
one beat at a time
like the beat of your heart
always to the left
and stop and pray
and dance to the left
sage, pipes, drums, songs, cedar, following the path
of those who came before
and making a path for the who would come after
follow the sun
piercing, singing, dancing
always to the left
dance hard my family, dance hard,
for they are suffering, tahikedo mitakuyapi
they are having a hard time,
pray hard, dance on until sundown
maybe tomorrow we will eat, maybe.
