    Fire looming over orange painted hill
    Sun sets in careful refrain
    Smoke will settle through the cold valley air
    Awake the head awake the soul
    Fire looms where darkness prevails
    Over the peak of human land
    Bombers fly mystery lines in the sky
    Soon men with wherewithal will come to see
    All that is green is left to burn
    In caves stories told the truth
    Valley collapse with lost fir, pine
    Lodge polls with beds of cedar bark
    The tube of life is in the grass
    The life that has no deep rooted paths
    Over the hill where men learn to leak
    Road of asphalt scars the earth
    And smoke of fire shrouds the air
    But oh little Indian boy is the same
    Loves the earth but has only a brain
    Some understand lost in a trace
    Bring it back, westward front
    Get whatÕs right, tread of feet
    Come home to what is real
