Tus Pies (Your Feet)

I'll be the earth that grounds you
From that chaos all around
I'll be the home you return to
I can be your middle ground

I will serve as a reminder
If you jump you will not fall
Go on and spread those wings of reason
We are water after all
And if you call on me

I'll come running like a coyote
'Cause we're pillars indeed
A lighthouse when you're out to sea
A beacon when direction's all I need
A compass if you know what I mean
Drunk on that nectar, of all that you are to me
And you can trust me and my instincts

'Cause they are like that of a bird
I am loyal, I will feed you
And sing you songs you never heard
Who wants to wear the hat this morning?
I reckon neither of us cares
'Cause there is more to life than leading
And I would follow you I swear

And if you call on me
I'll come running like a coyote
'Cause we're pillars indeed
A lighthouse when you're out to sea
A beacon when direction's all I need
A compass if you know what I mean
Drunk on that nectar, of all that you are to me
And I will always share my fire

A proper way to pay respects
Lay tobacco down in gratitude
One thing I cannot neglect
And there are eyes that watch us closely
And there's a story they will tell
There's a war between fact and fiction
And we have no time to dispel

So familiar yet so foreign
Polaroids say so much
Bring me ceremony parallels
I'll bring palaver and sagebrush
And if you call on me
I'll come running like a coyote
'Cause we're pillars indeed

A lighthouse when you're out to sea
A beacon when direction's all I need
A compass if you know what I mean
Drunk on that nectar, of all that you are to me
And I love your feet for how they found me
And how they walked upon four winds
Be my dear, I'll be your meadow
Come graze upon bare skin
