Circle Time

From the Album Dove with Claws

At a time of great despair
White Buffalo Calf Woman appeared
She was beautiful and pure

It’s the right song
It’s the Pipe song
It’s circle time

With a bundle in her arms
She said, “Don’t not be alarmed.
Your people will be kept from harm.”

It’s the right song
It’s the Pipe song
It’s circle time

When she turned around to go
She became the White Buffalo
Always follow the Red Road

It’s the right song
It’s the Pipe song
It’s circle time
