Story Behind The Song
A trip to a Native Ameican celebration of life in Arizona led to my learning about the concept of the Medicine Wheel. My wife (at the time) and I returned home and wrote this song about it.

Lyrics
In the great wheel we live forever
Round and round we heal together
On earth, under the sky, from this Law no one can hide
Ooh, A-Ho! Hey Hey Around the medicine wheel we go
We laugh we lose we learn we grow
To the spirit we surrender so our homeland we can mend her
It strengthens us to look inside
To move beyond our pain and pride
We move beyond our pride
Oooh, A-ho! Hey Hey Around the medicine wheel we go
We stop we love we learn we know
Recitation: There's a beautiful sound pulsing eternal through all creation
Equally through all people
How could I not treasure this precious jewel in you?
From the pathway of past sorrow, we now face a new tomorrow
Ooh, A-Ho! Hey Hey Around the medicine wheel we go
We laugh we lose we learn we grow
Oooh, A-ho! Hey Hey Around the medicine wheel we go
We stop we love we learn we know
Around the wheel we go, around the wheel we go
Around the wheel we go, around the wheel, 'round the medicine wheel
