Father Mountain - Nahko and Medicine For The People

One, two, three, four, two, zero

Let’s do another one for the open road

It’s been crazy getting through last winter, but

The ocean has been such good company

And can you feel the earth tilting back and forth

Back and forth

Here I sleep, parked next to the curb

In Portland I cringe of growing up in the suburbs

But I’ll wash dishes for a quick cash binge

'Til April comes and it’s into the wilderness again

Oh, father mountain

Show your face, where has the movement gone?

For our equal race

Oh, father mountain

Answer me

So be it

Mountain, I follow thee

Cosmic rays have amplified your face

And been revealed to me

In the strangest places

I take it as no astrological sign

And the eighth wonder has read my mind

Feel the earth tilting back and forth

Back and forth

Unity and a common bond will bless this trail

And dirt we trod upon

I wake to the birds and my bitter back burns

Smile like you mean it

And it will be returned

Oh, father mountain

Show your face, where has the movement gone?

For our equal race

Oh, father mountain

Answer me

So be it

Mountain, I follow thee

Aho man, what kind of power’s in me?

Aho man, can you see it churning?

Aho man, what kind of fire’s in me

Aho man, can you see it burning?

Aho man, I got some power in me

Aho man, can you see it churning?

Aho man, I got some fire in me

Aho man, can you see it burning?
