San Jacinto lyrics
Song information
Artist: Peter Gabriel Album: Plays Live
Lyrics
Thick cloud - steam rising - hissing stone on sweat lodge fire Around me - buffalo robe - sage in bundle - run on skin Outside - cold air - stand, wait for rising sun Red paint - eagle feathers - coyote calling - it has begun Something moving in - I taste it in my mouth and in my heart It feels like dying - slow - letting go of life
Medicine man lead me up though town - indian ground - So far down Cut up land - each house - a pool - kids wearing water Wings - drink in cool Follow dry river bed - watch scout and guides make Pow-wow signs Past geronimo's disco - sit 'n' bull steakhouse - white Men dream A rattle in the old man's sack - look at mountain top - Keep climbing up Way above us the desert snow - white wind blow
I hold the line - the line of strength that pulls me through The fear San jacinto - I hold the line San jacinto - the poison bite and darkness take my sight - I hold the line And the tears roll down my swollen cheek - think I'm losing It - getting weaker I hold the line - I hold the line San jacinto - yellow eagle flies down from the sun - From the sun
We will walk - on the land We will breathe - from the air We will drink - from the stream We will live - hold the line
