Restore me to health,
My body and my mind
Like earth and sea and sky
Let me run free, let me crawl free
Let me swim free, let me fly free
Let me breathe deep of the highest
Intention of our time
Show me the way
To the Mystery
Restory the song of this land
the bird call, the waters fall
The whisper of rain on the farms that remain
And though the little guy's been undercut
Some continue no matter what
I live in the arms of this fragrant land
No matter the name of the town I'm in
Tobacco and sage bless relations and places
The cycles, the changes and phases
So let this journey be long
Cause I'm continuing on and
I fly over
I fly over
With the seasons and songs
The celebrations that guide we
And just like rain through a swail
May we travel this trail
Where the prayer trees still bend
In the sharp autumn wind
And if there's a wall, a roadblock on my path, my love
On my way to work, to my garden
On my way to the water well, well
I fly over
If there's a wall between us when we speak my love
I wanna hear what you're dreaming of, so
I fly over
If you're in pain, cause every man's burden is the heaviest,
you got to offer that pain up and say
I fly over
And if you're afraid, cause the way you been living is all changing
You know, you just let go, cause it's all gotta change, you know, say
I fly over, make your own peace, say
I fly over
Restory the song in our hands,
What it looked like on that day when
we all sat down in thanks
Cause the peace was made.
Cause we all sang, I fly over
I fly over
