	Story Behind the Song the song is a 4-verse description of the Native American spiritual path and its practices. I have a deep appreciation of these practices because they are so very real--they produce not ideas but experiences Lyrics MEDICINE WHEEL By Kate Wolf When the morning breaks and the sunlight warms my soul In the East the Eagle flies and the Red-tail proudly soars I’m on my way to the place of the spirit one Grandfather hear me now I am on fire Let the sundance guide my feet to your desire Give me visions for my eyes and words like gold that shimmer in the sun Hy-ah, hy-ah, hy-ah When the sun goes down and it grows too dark to see I look within to the shaman’s mysteries I’m on my way to die and live again Grandmother Earth I cry, give me rest I take my place with the woman in the west Show me the Raven and the Bear, the way of herbs and the black obsidian Ay-yi, ay-yi, ay-yi Turn towards the South like the water I will run In innocence and trust the moonchild’s song is sung I’m on my way to the place of the sacred plants My emotions and my will at their command Where the Turtle’s voice is heard upon the land Where the wise Coyote prowls, the Rattlesnake will call me to the dance Ay-yi, ay-yi, ay-yi In the deepest night, the stars watch over me Old woman of the North, my mind seeks clarity I’m on my way to the place of the northern winds Let the thunder and the lightning carry me Lay my thoughts to rest and send me into sleep With the Hawk and the Buffalo My dreams white crystal magic medicine Ay-yi, ay-yi, ay-yi Ay-yi, ay-yi, ay-yi
