THIS MOMENT by Anni McCann

Track 10

Hollow Bone

​

There lies a secret deep within, 

the circle without end.

It holds the seed that finds its voice 

upon the wind, reminding once again.

Step aside as spirit guides. 

Step aside as spirit guides.

​

Finding our way like a river winding her way 

back to the sea again. 

Sharing with our sisters and our brothers 

as we let the waves wash all our tears away, opening our hearts. 

​

The warmth of fire to fuel our hearts, 

to purify the soul. 

The salt of earth to firmly plant our feet upon 

as we walk the sacred road. 

​

Step aside as spirit guides. 

Step aside as spirit guides. 

​

Sage, feather, stone, hollow bone. 

Earth, water, stone, hollow bone. 

Sage, feather, stone, hollow bone. 

Earth, water, stone, hollow bone… (Step aside…) 

 

"A song inspired by and dedicated to Chief Frank Fools Crow, the late renowned Holy man of the Oglala Lakota Nation, who spoke of making oneself as a hollow bone, emptied of all impurities, open to the breath of spirit (flowing through one’s bones), fully available to higher guidance. Make us hollow bone."
