Spliff Song
by Diane Patterson

Don’t judge me while I smoke this spliff
It’s been crazy, just remember this,
Sacred chances are, good people rise again
Dead branches fall down in the wind

Everybody gotta stand in their own body
I got to stand in mine
Everybody gotta stand with the Water
Where true power lies

Take me skyward on that grey ghost dance
Then dive I naked on the earth I stand
True purpose burns with grief and praise
Just live this day before it melts away

Take me willingly to stand on the front lines
Cause I’ll die free before I’ll let you leave me behind
Sacred Stone Camp burns an ember bright
Be kind, stay in prayer, stay non-violent
