Lyrics

Spirit Gods Of The Harvest

[Intro]
[drums and claps rising]
Hey-ya hey-ya hey-ya
Hey-ya hey-ya ho
Hey-ya hey-ya hey-ya
Ho-ya hey-ya ho (hey!)

[Verse 1]
Sunrise paints the fields in gold
Corn is high
The stories old
Children laugh
The baskets full
Smoke of thanks lifts from our circle

[Chorus]
Thank you
Spirit Gods
For the river
For the rain
Thank you
Spirit Gods
For the seed
For the grain
Voices up to the sky
Hands down on the land
We dance
We sing
We cry
For the gifts from your hand (hey!)

[Verse 2]
Grandmother lays corn by the fire
Grandfather beats time like a heart
We move as one
Dust in the light
Feathers shake
Our joy takes flight

[Chorus]
Thank you
Spirit Gods
For the river
For the rain
Thank you
Spirit Gods
For the seed
For the grain
Voices up to the sky
Hands down on the land
We dance
We sing
We cry
For the gifts from your hand (oh yeah)

[Bridge]
Hey-ya hey-ya
See our dance
Round and round this shining chance
Hey-ya hey-ya
Hear our vow
Guard this earth
We honor now (hey!)

[Chorus]
Thank you
Spirit Gods
For the river
For the rain
Thank you
Spirit Gods
For the seed
For the grain
Voices up to the sky
Hands down on the land
We dance
We sing
We cry
For the gifts from your hand

[Outro]
Hey-ya hey-ya hey-ya
Ho-ya hey-ya ho
Grateful hearts and open palms
Spirit Gods
We let it flow (hey!)
