Red Road

When I was young and wayward, tore-up from the floor up

An elder once told me to gather my medicine

I said: You mean roots and feathers?

No! The medicine within you

The good things in you to make you well

You have to gather those things

Only you can do this with help from Grandfather

When you have gathered your medicine

You will know what it takes to get well

If you become ill in your spirit and mind

And stray away from the Good Red Road
