The Spirit Trail Lyrics - Dan Fogelberg

The light is long the sun is low 

I'm riding fast across this dusty road 

But I don't want to be, no I don't want to be 

Above the ridge an eagle flies 

In lazy circles in the western skies 

I want to fly with him I want to walk the spirit trail

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

I've seen them come I've seen them go 

Off to the oilfields and rodeos 

To find a better way, they leave their native soil 

But I can hear a different song 

The drum within my heart is beating strong 

I want to follow it, I've got to walk the spirit trail 

Let every creature I see be a brother and a friend to me 

Let every step that I take leave the footprints of a warrior 

Along the spirit trail 

Heya-heya heya hiyo 

Heya-heya heya hiyo 

Heya-heya heya hiyo 

Heya-heya heya hiyo 

They took the land, they took control 

They robbed my father of his very soul 

To be like one of them, to be like one of them 

But I was born a native son 

And I will never be another one 

To give it all away I've got to walk the spirit trail 

Let every creature I see be a brother and a friend to me 

Let every step that I take leave the footprints of a warrior 

Along the spirit trail 

Heya-heya heya hiyo 

Heya-heya heya hiyo 

Heya-heya heya hiyo 

Heya-heya heya hiyo 

Let every creature I see be a brother and a friend to me 

Let every step that I take leave the footprints of a warrior 

Along the spirit trail 

Heya-heya heya hiyo 

Heya-heya heya hiyo 

Heya-heya heya hiyo 

Heya-heya heya hiyo
