written and composed by Shawn Gallaway
A Song Based on the Native American Tradition
I’ve been feeling battered
Beat up and abused
My career is crazy
The kids all got the flu
I want to be a woman
Present in all I do
But this western world keeps leaving me
Stressed out and confused
Take me to the Longhouse
Where I can be with women
Listen to their stories
Find my strength again
Take me to the Longhouse
Where council fires of old
Turn my tears to wisdom
As the mystery unfolds
I’ve been working steady
For many long, long years
My pursuit of money’s
Left me empty and in tears
Now which way can I turn to
To heal these manly woes
There’s one place in the forst
I hear I can go
Take me to the Longhouse
Where I can be with men
Listen to their stories
Find my strength again
Take me to the Longhouse
Where council fires of old
Turn my tears to wisdom
As the mystery unfolds
There’s a war on the homefront
A pain in our hearts
This power struggle stirring
Keeps ripping us apart
We want to free the love
Lost beneath these lies
But we’re not sure what we can do
To cross these troubled lines
Take us to the Longhouse
Where we can meet as friends
Listen to our stories
Find our strength again
Take us to the Longhouse
Where council fires of old
Turn our tears to wisdom
As the mystery unfolds
Take us to the Longhouse
Where we can meet as friends
Listen to our stories
Find our strength again
Take us to the Longhouse
Where council fires of old
Turn our tears to wisdom
As the mystery unfolds
Take us to the Longhouse
Take us to the Longhouse
Take us to the Longhouse
Take us to the Longhouse
Take us to the Longhouse
Take us to the Longhouse
Take us to the Longhouse
Take us to the Longhouse
