lyrics

I was born at the foot of a mountain
But now the mountain calls me home
I hear its voice upon the winds
As o’ver this world I roam

No matter where I journey on
There’s just one place I call my own
And one day I’ll get back to it
I know

I cut my teeth on the desert floor
Took my first steps on the back of a horse
Watch storms roll down
The canyon walls at night

Where eagles cry and lion’s roar
The mark of the hunter on my door
I give thanks for their sacrifice
As I leave mine behind

I was born at the foot of a mountain
But now the mountain calls me home
I hear its voice upon the winds
As o’ver this world I roam

No matter where I journey on
There’s just one place I call my own
And one day I’ll get back to it
I know

Daddy taught us to carry light
Wherever we may go
So Tawa knows just where I am
For to his light I’ll always hold

Where water’s more precious than gold
By firelight the stories told
Of why the trickster
Howls at the moonlight

What secrets this old world may hold
All I’ve learn, I still get cold
For of that sea of sand
I’ll never get my fill

The fires burn, the peoples dance
I know one day I’ll have my chance
For the mark of the Hohokam
I carry still!

I was born at the foot of a mountain
But now the mountain calls me home
I hear its voice upon the winds
As o’ver this world I roam

No matter where I journey on
There’s just one place I call my own
And one day I’ll get back to it
I know
I was born at the foot of a mountain
