A live song for you

Ghost Dance at Count Basie Theatre
158

Our friend Janine Bub sent this video of Ghost Dance. Hope you like it.


What is it children that falls from the sky?
Tayi, taya, tayi, aye, aye
Mana from heaven from the most high
Food from the father, tayi, taye, aye

We shall live again,
We shall live again
(We shall live again)
Shake out the ghost dance

Give to your brother; give and take eat
Tayi, taya, dance little feet
One foot extended, snake to the ground
Wave up the earth, worm turn around

We shall live again
We shall live again
(We shall live again)
Shake out the ghost dance


Stretch out your arms, now dip and sway
Bird of thy birth, tayi, tayi
The oe of the shoe, the ou of the soul
Dust off the words that shake from the tale

We shall live again,
We shall live again
(We shall live again)
Shake out the ghost dance
Here we are, father, lord, holy ghost
Bread of your bread, ghost of your host
We are the tears that fall from your eyes
Word of your word, cry of your cry

We shall live again,
We shall live again
(We shall live again)

Shake out the ghost
