Lyrics
High up in the hills of a wintering sky
Okanaki looked to the water through the eyes inside
Far across an ocean he would never really see
Ships on the water carrying destiny
There?s a man on a cross and he?s not coming off
Though he?s not really sure what it means
Rise up for a dance with the western wind
Call upon the spirit of our kin
Shadows of our fathers cast across a crooked sky
As the Earth breaks open? climb inside
There?s a man on a cross and he?s not coming down
?Cause they need him up there to believe
And they?ve twisted his words and they?ve taken his crown
In his name they destroy and deceive
Oh sweet Jesus, holy lamb
Great redeemer, cleanse this wicked land
It?s been happening for a while; it?ll happen still again
These people say they know him, but they?re not his friend
Some day they?re gonna meet him right before they go to fry
He?ll be standin? there with Okanaki; won?t they be surprised?
But until they are gone they?ll keep on keepin? on
And they?ll keep calling killing their cause
They?ll believe what they do is the right thing to do
And believe that they aren?t pissing off? God.
