~a heavenly higher spring day~

"We must remember that the heart of our religion is alive and that each person has the ability within to awaken and walk in a sacred manner." ---- Thomas Yellowtail, CROW

 

The Native Spirituality is full of life. When we seek it we become alive. Even if we have gone astray and have conducted ourselves in a bad way, we can look within and have a new awakening to life. Maybe we have drunk too much alcohol; maybe we have cheated on our spouse; maybe we have done things that make us feel guilty and ashamed. If we look outside ourselves, we will not find life; if we look inside, we will find life. Anytime we choose to change our lives, we only need to look inside. How do we do this? Take some sage and light it, close your eyes and say to the Great Sirit, I'm tired, I need your help. Please help me change. Great Spirit, I know you exist inside of myself. Let me awaken to your teachings.

 

* Higher * ~ song lyrics by Creed

When dreaming I'm guided to another world

Time and time again

At sunrise I fight to stay asleep

'Cause I don't want to leave the comfort of this place

'Cause there's a hunger, a longing to escape

From the life I live when I'm awake

So let's go there

Let's make our escape

Come on, let's go there

Let's ask can we stay?

 

Can you take me Higher?

To a place where blind men see

Can you take me Higher?

To a place with golden streets

 

Although I would like our world to change

It helps me to appreciate

Those nights and those dreams

But, my friend, I'd sacrifice all those nights

If I could make the Earth and my dreams the same

The only difference is

To let love replace all our hate

So let's go there

Let's make our escape

Come on, let's go there

Let's ask can we stay?

 

Can you take me Higher?

To a place where blind men see

Can you take me Higher?

To a place with golden streets

 

So lets go there, lets go there,

Come on, lets go there

Lets ask can we stay?

 

Up high I feel like I'm alive for the very first time

Set up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams

And make them mine

Set up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams

And make them mine

 

Can you take me Higher?

To a place where blind men see

Can you take me Higher?

To a place with golden streets

 

Can you take me Higher?

To a place where blind men see

Can you take me Higher?

To a place with golden streets
