Great Circle
Juulie Rousseau

In a great circle we sat
We wore the sky on our heads like a hat
All the beauty of the universe
Pearled on our skin and on our fur

Give me the wings of a bird
I heard the people singing in the night
All your wars and all your fights can’t take away the light
Despite all your crimes the sun forever will shine

Hear the drums the sacred drums
Calling to the spirit of the united ones
The fire burns and takes our prayers into their guns
So when they shoot there shots will be undone

Give me the wings of a bird
I heard the people singing in the night
All your wars and all your fights can’t take away the light
Despite all your crimes the sun forever will shine

In a great circle we should sit
Discuss about this world that is Ill
Listen to the elders and the children
Listen to the nature and the wind

Give me the wings of a bird
I heard the people singing in the night
All your wars and all your fights can’t take away the light
Despite all your crimes the sun forever will shine

Pass the feather of the eagle in the great circle
So that all may speak, so that all may listen,
may love be the medicine that heals our wounds
Yes may love be the medicine, may love be the medicine
May we listen to the elders, may we listen to the children
May we listen to the nature, may we listen to the wind
