Written at an Amerindian Christian Tent Revival Meeting we attended. The lyrics simply appeared in my mind full formed while playing the Father Drum.

Awaken the giant within...(E,G#/BE, G/BE, E)
Awaken the giant within...(E,G#/BE, G/BE, E)

Went down to the river (E,G,D,D*,D)
Went down to the sea (A,A*,A)
Drank deep of the water of life (E,G,D,D*,D)
and set my soul free,my soul free (A,A*,A,E,E)

Ya Way is the mountain (E,G,D,D*,D)
the ocean and the sea (A,A*,A)
may the four winds of the ancients (E,G,D,D*,D)
become one with thee,one with thee (A,A*,A,E,E)

Ya-way,your way (E,G,D)
lead on mighty spirit (A,A*)
Ya-way your way (E,G,D)
fill me with light (A,A*)
Ya-way, your way (E,G,D)
the path is calling (A,A*)
Ya-way, your way (E,G,D)
Rainbow warriors to the fight (A,A*)
Ya-way use me (E,G,D)
make me a healer (A,A*)
Ya-way, use me (E,G,D)
Big medicine is yours (A,A*)
Ya-way, use me (E,G,D)
flowing waves of compassion (A,A*)
Ya-way, use me (E,G,D)
My hands are your tools... (A,A*)

The spirit of the buffalo (E,G,D,D*,D)
the spirit of the bear (A,A*,A)
teach us to live in balance (E,G,D,D*,D)
mother eARTh we will share, we'll share (A,A*,A,E,E)
