San Jacinto Lyrics - Plays Live - Peter Gabriel

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 

Heya Wambdetanka! (Arise Big Eagle!) [1] 

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 - of the air 

We will drink - from the stream 

We will live - hold the line
