Rising Appalachia
Medicine
[Verse 1]
Wise men say that rushing is violence
And so is your silence
When it's rooted in compliance
To stand firm in loving defiance
Make art your alliance
Give voice to the fire

Move people to the beat of the wind
Gather yourself and begin
To dance the song until it ends
We are winners, champions of the light
Forming in numbers and might
Keep the truth close in sight

[Chorus]
Medicine Woman, Medicine Man
Walking with grace, I know your face, and I trust your hands

Walking with grace, I know your face, and I trust your hands

Unplug, you can't ignore this
Wisdom of the voiceless
Remedies are bountiful and surround us

Find your healing in the music that calls you
The voice that enthralls you
What do you belong to?

Give thanks to each and everyone
The lesson is the...

Walking with grace, I know your face, and I trust your hands
Medicine Woman, Medicine Man
Walking with grace, I know your face, and I trust your hands

[Bridge]

In my tracks
Trip back
Until the lesson is in action and
Your yard is feeding
Stop stark the disbelieving
'Cause the garden holds the shards
The medicine is in the seeds when

We hold tight to our right to protect and
We know our might is tenfold in connection
Our elders hold them bright lights
We protect them
The medicine is evident
The wolf, the hawk, the bear clan
We hold tight to our right to protect and
We know our might is tenfold in connection
Our elders hold them bright lights
We protect them
The medicine is evident
The wolf, the hawk, the...

[Chorus]
Medicine Woman, Medicine Man
Walking with grace, I know your face, and I trust your hands
Medicine Woman, Medicine Man
Walking with grace, I know your face, and I trust your hands
