Dream Walking

The buffalo are gone
but close your eyes
on a stormy night
and you'll find them
thunder'ng o'er the plains again 

The tall prairie grass 
has given way to progress
Skyscrapers & super highways
but when the wind blows
you can feel ‘em
 brush across your skin 

The proud warriors
whose lives were given
in protecting the old ways
when I close my eyes
Rise up to ride again 

What it must've been 
to see the great buffalo
grazing on tall prairie grass
and hear the warrior's hunt cry
I'll close my eyes & dream
