21,22 The Long Trail - from The Spirit Spring


Narration: It came to pass that there arose a great leader among the People. He was called Wakinyan Tanka, the Great Thunderbird. And one day he came to the People and said: "It is time for us to go home." But the People were afraid, so he said: "Fear not, for we have kept our faith and will come to no harm." And so the People began their long journey home..


Lyrics: When you look around and you can’t touch ground ‘Cause you just can’t get your feet back down When you look so hard and it can’t be found And you just don’t know your way around Then you’ll Look for me and then you’ll see That I know just the place to be Home to the desert, home, home Home to the valley, home Will you follow me? Down the mountain To the city To a life where we’ll be free When you’ve lost your way at the end of the day And there’s nothing anyone can say When you’ve gone so far and it’s been so long And you just don’t think you can be strong Walk with me and in time you’ll see That there’s just one place to be Home to the valley, home, home Home to the city, home
Take me to the city That’s where I want to be now Take me to the valley That’s where I’ll find my home now Take me to the water Home to the valley, home, home Home to the city, home	Take me to the city Take me to the valley


*Notes:* Wakinyan Tanka is the Sioux phrase for the great thunderbird. This seemed to fit since he was a leader of people in the high country. This song represents their long migration back to the desert lands of the Anasazi where the great cliff palaces were built.
