The Wolves Have Returned (feat. JOSEPH, Leah Song, Trevor Hall & Xavier Rudd)

I'm cutting the bad fruit off of my tree to Lighten my load, and grow me tall Just like my dogma, this fire pit mantra Covered in ashes, now take me home Shedding my antlers and making up answers To the mystery of nature, so reach for the sun Spruce tips and cedars now free up them rivers The salmon will run, no dam can hold United the nations is gonna take some patience So, unzip your sheep skin, the wolves have returned The wolves have returned (Oh-ooh-ooh-ooh) I call to the spirit, brother, I hear it Union of all things, like words on the sky I've read the totems, my ancestors wrote 'em Now I sit patience as I wait on the trial This runs through all things like thunder and lightning Song everlasting where always I learn Pull off your old skin, now we are kindred Open and listen, the wolves have returned The wolves have returned (Oh-ooh-ooh-ooh) Channel the old ones, each waking new sun Walk with your totem, conditions unsaid Walk from the mystery, a love we are feeling Woomera for protection, the spear in your hand Light of our dreaming, never meant to be easy Sometimes there'll be water, sometimes it'll be dry Footprints in tandem, in this ancient sandstone Grandmothers reside, and I'll be by your side Oh, I will be by your side Grandmother I will be by your side Oh-oh All of creation is making a statement You can't escape it, she's coming for you It was up to me, I'd teach her that loneliness Is just part of the courage it takes Maybe it's the music, it's moving right through us All of the songs that will outlive me I'm running the song lines I'm wrapping my prayer tight Preserving the old way My wolf has returned (ooh) My wolf has returned, ooh Go on and carry your flag Carry your flag, I've got your back Go on and carry your flag Carry your flag, I've got your back Carry your flag Carry your flag (I got your back now) Carry your flag (I got your back) Carry your flag (I got your back now) (I got your back now) carry your flag Carry your flag (I got your back now) Carry your flag (carry your flag) Carry your flag (I got your back now) Carry your flag (carry your flag, carry your flag) Carry your flag (I got your back now, I've got your back now) Carry your flag (I got your back) (We've got your back) carry your flag Carry your flag
