IT’S THE PAHA SAPA I TOOK A TRIP TO THE HILL MET A MAN NAMED RICHARD PAHA SAPA HE SAID “WE ALL BLEW OUT OF THE EARTH AND KORCZAK CARVING A MOUNTAIN PAHA SAPA
PAHA SAPA (THE BLACK HILLS)
DEEP IN A HEART
A SIOUX MANTRA
PAHA
IN SOUTHWESTERN DAKOTA
INTO THE LAND OF THE BUFFALO
THE OGLALA LAKOTA
AS HE WAS PAINTING A VASE
HE SPOKE OF THE LEGEND OF SACRED PIPE
AND THE START OF A RACE
BRUSHED DEEP IN HIS FACE
SITS DEEP IN A HEART
A SIOUX ARIA
PAHA
FROM A HOLE IN A WIND CAVE
AND WAKAN TANKA MADE US STRONG
GENERATIONS OF BRAVES
TO REMEMBER US ALL
WE WERE LIVING THEN, WE’RE LIVING NOW
THE DRUM MAKING A CALL
IN A SKY GHOST DANCE BALL”
DEEP IN A HEART
A SIOUX MANTRA
PAHA SAPA
I forgot how good this song came out!
Hey Stan,
I agree, you played well.
And I was in love with that area of South Dakota even before I went there. Richard Underbaggage is a real guy painting vases.
Thanks.
Tom
The Canadian Indian in my blood speaks when I hear this song! 🙂
