	Story Behind the Song Written over a decade ago 'Rite Of Passage' was a composition yearning to "come out". 'Rite' depicts 'Inipi' and her birthing and awakening process. It is a journey of and within Spirit. "Mitakuye Oyasin - we are all related" Lyrics Bury me in a red-wool blanket high atop the poles Up where only hawks and eagles roam Bury me on a red-rock mesa; cover me with stones Let me take my rite of passage home Bury me on a painted desert; cover me with earth Place me in my mother's waiting arms Bury me by the side of the red road; wash my face with dirt Let me take my rite of passage home
