Echo Maker

by Kevin Lajiness

Song Lyrics

We are the great river children of them that forged a bond 
And we are the bond for our future 
Our fathers like crane and echo maker 
Brought peace and prosperity trade throughout the territory 
With their alliance our fathers new honor and wisdom 
And humbled themselves to bring order through the great creator 
You can here the rhythm of the men threw the songs that they 
Sing as they carry their furs down the river 
It was haunty but inviting and the bond brought forth a new nation 
That spread across a continent but all that brings war 
Nearly destroyed the new nation and the conflict changed it forever 
But it survived even today it thrives but lacks spirituality 
And its identity and I pray for it now to rise up again and bring the bonds 

that were made once back together so that we can be a family once more

 amen We are the great river children of them that forged a bond 
And we are the bond for our future 
Our fathers like crane and echo maker 
Brought peace and prosperity trade throughout the territory 
With their alliance our fathers new honor and wisdom 
And humbled themselves to bring order through the great creator 
You can here the rhythm of the men threw the songs that they 
Sing as they carry their furs down the river 
It was haunty but inviting and the bond brought forth a new nation 
That spread across a continent but all that brings war 
Nearly destroyed the new nation and the conflict changed it forever 
But it survived even today it thrives but lacks spirituality 
And its identity and I pray for it now to rise up again and bring the bonds 

that were made once back together so that we can be a 
family once more amen

We gather round all my children 

We started from Ponchartrain three days ago 
SanCrainte’s got a place on the Huron 
Mmichilimac is the last outpost from there 
Hudson Bay and the northern lights 
Hey there Indian interpreter is setting traps a lonely life 
But the beauty in the north is unmatched in civilization 
With the Money Traders our there own Men 
But they call us half breads we don’t fit in 
The settlers are flooding the Ohio 
I can see my days are numbered in this land 
A hundred years have passed since our fathers 
Indian interpreters ever one, 
We go where no Man has gone 
And we did it without a gun

Free Falcon Ride

by Kevin Lajiness

                                                                                                I was a free bird  Like a Indian riding the waves of the wind I could free myself of all worldly possessions I felt at one with the universe And I could fly                                                                           

as high as the mountains “again and again 
I want to be a free again and again the waves of the wind 
Like and Indian again and again I could free Like and Indian 
riding the waves of the wind I could free myself I could free myself” 
When I was young tall and strong I was a free bird 
When I was young tall and strong I was a free bird 
Like a Indian riding the waves of the wind 
I could free myself of all worldly possessions I felt at one with the universe 
And I could fly as high as the mountains I want to be a free bird again 
I want to be riding wave on the wind like a falcon across the meadows 
If it’s the last thing I do on this planet I’m going to free myself 
Of all that weighs me down and take some advice from an elder 
And go out ridding waves And go out ridding waves on the wind 
with a falcon again and again 
And go out ridding waves on the wind with a falcon again and again 
Like and Indian riding the waves of the wind I could free myself 
And go out ridding waves on the wind with a falcon again and again 
And go out ridding waves on the wind with a falcon again and again 
Like and Indian riding the waves of the wind I could free myself 
I could free myselfWhen I was young tall and strong I was a free bird 
When I was young tall and strong I was a free bird 
Like a Indian riding the waves of the wind 
I could free myself of all worldly possessions I felt at one with the universe 
And I could fly as high as the mountains I want to be a free bird again 
I want to be riding wave on the wind like a falcon across the meadows 
If it’s the last thing I do on this planet I’m going to free myself 
Of all that weighs me down and take some advice from an elder 

And go out ridding waves

I Can See Right Through You by Kevin Lajiness

I Can See Right Through You

by Kevin Lajiness

Now you think I don’t know what you’re up to but I do 
I can see right through you your trying to muddy your bloody water 
With your minutia I’m not buying it all you want is the land 
So you can get more ear marks to develop it 
Your kinds been doing it for centuries why don’t you just leave 
The land alone you muddy your bloody waters with your lies 
I know what you do and I’m going to stop you in your tracks 
Now you think I don’t know what you’re up to but I do 
I can see right through you your trying to muddy your bloody water 
With your minutia I’m not buying it all you want is the land 
So you can get more ear marks to develop it 
Your kinds been doing it for centuries why don’t you just leave 
The land alone you muddy your bloody waters with your lies 
I know what you do and I’m going to stop you in your tracks 
You muddy your bloody waters with your lies I know what you do                                                                                                               and I’m going to stop you in your tracks

"Take A Closer Look at the World" Kevin Lajiness

Take a closer look at the world around you and you will look at things differently
Don’t put your head in the sand open you eye and look at the world around you
It’s fascinating the patterns of nature are the hand prints of God
if you want to follow his ways this will led you to them the farther down the path the more enlighten you are the landscape of God is not sterilized his creatures are abundant when we are kind to them
let the weeds and grasses grow they are medicines a purpose for all plants they work together as one Its time for man to join the kingdom Take a closer look at the world around you and you will look at things differently
Don’t put your head in the sand open up your eye and look at the world around you
It’s fascinating the patterns of nature are the hand prints of God
if you want to follow his ways they will led you to them the farther down the path the more enlighten you are the landscape of god is not sterilized his creatures are abundant when we are kind to it
the weeds and grasses are medicines let them grow a purpose for all plants they work together as one Its time for man to join the kingdom Take a closer look at the world around you and you will look at things differently
Don’t put your head in the sand open your eye and look at the world around you
It’s fascinating the patterns of nature are the hand prints of God
if you want to follow his ways this will led you to them the farther down the path the more enlighten you are the landscape of God is not sterilized his creatures are abundant when we are kind to them
Let the weeds and grasses grow they are medicines a purpose for all plants they work together as one it’s time for man to join the kingdom  "Take a Closer look at The World" play at Jango

"Arms Raised To The Sky" Kevin Lajiness

If you take a picture of me
I’m standing in a field with my arms
To the sky asking the lord
Why oh why cant man get it right some time
How can nature be in such harmony?
And we could careless for the land
Take down all the fences let the herds
Populate again
Standing in a field all day long
From sunrise to dawn with one eye
Perch on the sky just incase a bird flies by
Like the guy that drinks to much
Mans excesses will catch up
Drunk with power and corrupt
And wanting more
Destroying what god has giving us
In time a way of life that’s not in line
With the rest of the animals
In a field with my hands to the sky
Asking god why oh why with one eye perched to the sky
Just incase a bird flies by and if it be a hawk I tell
Myself this must be a sign
Or his way to remind
If you take a picture of me
I’m standing in a field with my arms
To the sky asking the lord
Why oh why cant man get it right some time
How can nature be in such harmony?
And we could careless for the land
Take down all the fences let the herds
Populate again
Standing in a field all day long
From sunrise to dawn with one eye
Perch on the sky just incase a bird flies by
Like the guy that drinks to much
Mans excesses will catch up
Drunk with power and corrupt
And wanting more
Destroying what god has giving us
In time a way of life that’s not in line
With the rest of the animals
In a field with my hands to the sky
Asking god why oh why with one eye perched to the sky
Just incase a bird flies by and if it be a hawk I tell
Myself this must be a sign
Or his way to remind

"Let my People Go" Kevin Lajiness

http://www.reverbnation.com/store/view_item_album/artist_489344?item_id=1644929

Let my people go let my people go let my people go

You have enslaved them you work from dawn to dust

And you never get ahead let my people go used to be you

Could do better than your father it just aint so it just aint so

There’s a bounty on your head called a mortgage

Now I’m telling you the river will turn red

I’ll bring famine and pestilence the locus will be feed

And if that don’t work your first born will die cause

you’re killing them too

Let my people go let my people go your killing them

You’re killing them by taxing them to death and you’ll

Bury them in bureaucracy when does the story end

"I'm a Eagle Soaring" Kevin Lajiness

Deep down inside I want to come to full consciousness
I’m an eagle soaring out of sight take me higher and higher
And higher I want to know the truth if searching is to find
I look under every rock I can and to clear my mind
So that thoughts might flow without apprehension
I’m an Eagle soaring out of sight take me higher and higher
And higher I welcome divine inspiration
I get excited with the notion of a new idea
That was molded from the hand print s of god
I’m an eagle soaring out of sight take me higher and higher
And higher Rain down on me rain down on me
 Touch me to my very soul take me higher and higher
 And higher I’m a eagle souring out of sight
 I’m a eagle souring out of sight take me higher and higher
 And higher Let me reach deep down inside
 I want to come to full consciousness I want to know the truth
 If searching is to find I look under every rock I can
 And to clear my mind so that thoughts might flow without
 Apprehension I’m an Eagle soaring out of sight take me higher
 And higher and higher I welcome divine inspiration I
 Get excited with the notion of a new idea that was molded
 From the hand prints of God I’m an eagle soaring out of sight
 Take me higher and higher and higher Rain down on me
 Rain down on me touch me to my very soul
 Take me higher and higher and higher I’m a eagle souring
 Out of sight take me higher and higher and higher
 I’m an eagle souring out of sight take me higher
 And higher and higher and higher

"Algonquin Genocide" Kevin Lajiness

Algonquin Genocide Play at Jango (The Genocide)
With a tear running down my face spread to the wind
Spread to the wind my brothers we are all kin
I know someday I’ll be called away
To the land where my fathers cried
It’s not hard to see why they left
Many had died in the genocide and the ones that survived
Kept the legend alive so that we may find ourselves
In the time that we are to be justified
I’ll don’t know what I’ll do but maybe I already have
For in this song I tell you the coming of it Man
This is what I understand I am not an authority
But believe what’s in you heart and maybe it will be
