Heartbeat thrumming, setting the rhythm

Feet moving as the warm blood flows

Matching the heartbeat, honor beat

Searching the plains, searching the land

Shield up, protect the heart as it beats

Keep the blood from flowing out

Look around, find the enemy, protect the heart

Out away from home, the heart draws the circle

Look, warrior, look, search them out

Take a stand as the heart beats faster, adrenalin surging

I will stand, they shall not pass, We will stand, Together



Search again, look around, follow the tracks, the heart beats

The voices all about and inside, singing the songs

Guiding the feet, drawing the heart to the beat

Drawing brother to brother, father to son, grandfather

Ancestors, brothers and sisters, near and far,

Blood of my blood, some has flowed, some still does

The heartbeat, heartbeat, heartbeat, heartbeat, heartbeat

Ceremony, sage smoke, Eagle passes by in salutation

The eye searches, as Sun shines warmly on the field

Ceremony, Ceremony, Ceremony, honor beat



Heartbeat hammers, up and stand tall, again and again

Piercing voices, singers and warriors, voicing their strength

No fear, only strength, shields and spears, fans and rattles

Blankets and sashes, bandoliers of one’s life

Gather, my brothers, and feel the earth

Gather, my sisters, touch the sky

Gather, and welcome, here and beyond

Dance in the sun, never stop moving

As the heart beats and voices rise in song



He feels the beads of sweat as they trickle down his cheek

He smiles as he feels his ancestors, his secret friends

Surrounded by those unseen and brothers of the earth

Supported by the women, Keepers of the hearth and home

Honor, tradition, children, so many gather

He looks at the sky and dreams

Old days, old traditions, old ways, new life

He is a warrior, he has been in harm’s way

His tribe will survive, his people will live

Through him and his children, his traditions will breathe

The blood will tell, the heartbeat lives

Smiling at his companions, smiling at the feeling

Smiling at the joy of being alive and with the heartbeat

He feels them, looks all around, looks to the rocks

Rocks on the mountain, so many, so white in the light

Then something else is on the rock, is it a figure?

One steps forth upon the rock on the ridge, he speaks

Follow the path, warrior, follow the path

Another appears over there, that ridge, that rock

He smiles down, he laughs, hands on hips, hair blowing

Wind brings waves of another, and she smiles and nods at him

Dance, brother, dance, blessing and prayers bring you to us

Blessing and prayers we give to you, dance, dance, dance



Closer to the heartbeat he moves, closing the circle

Wind cool on his brow, Sun warm on his clothes

Yes, he looks again after looking within, they are still there

Looking down at him, lifting him up, Spirit soars

He is on the ridge with them as they all dance

Feel the heartbeat in the earth, in the air, in the blood

Flow with it, move to it, dance, dance, dance

Feel your brothers, feel your sisters, Faster

Feel them all, around you, surrounding you, part of you



Heartbeat getting louder, pounding, pounding

Beating through the flesh, beating through the blood

Beating through the heart, Reaching the Spirit as it soars

Riding the whirlwind of joy and strength

Rattles shake, Coyote howls! the warrior can rest



Rest now, my brother, rest well

Rest now, my sister, he will need you again soon

Soon the heartbeat will call you back

Back to the search, back to the stand

Back to the dance, the blood will flow

Dance, dance, dance.
