Snake Dance - Harold Martinez

Somewhere like grains of sand, oh my brother

Somewhere like a cloud of dust, I’m a dreamer

Somewhere on my plain I pray for you, my man

I pray for your gods on my hellish plain

I dance with snakes around your bones

I dance, I pray, I live with your ghosts

It’s a day of prayer today, I burn

I’m a cloud of dust I’m your son, oh my sun

Somewhere on my plain I cry for you, my man

For the setting sun for the dead river

Somewhere on my plain I scream for you, my man

And in the hereafter for you I dance with your goners

I dance with snakes around your bones

I dance, I pray, I live with your ghosts

It’s a day of prayer today, I burn

I’m a cloud of dust I’m your son, oh my sun
