IN THE SPIRIT by Cliff Latta It's all from the Great Spirit, The Sun, mountains, Mother Ocean, Ravens in the Sky, You and me...
A tree that fell crashing to the forest floor, And the elk's skin that now embraces it, Begin a new journey.
Hold your drum to your ear, In a private moment When you want to talk with God, Then begin to beat Against the elk and tree Until their voice fills you
You have created the path with this drum. That future generations may follow. There is a new voice in the world That is the elk and the tree and you Moving together in the spirit.
