Tristan Starling - So Many Years Lyrics

Great Spirit I am calling you in
Great Spirit show me how to begin
And I pray to the fire - Won't you lend me your flame?
To shine through the darkness and burn through my fears and my shame

I let time run away with me
Dark memories distort what I see
Watched my love fall away from me
I just need a little guidance
So I can be free

Great Spirit I am down on my knees
Will you be the medicine for this human dis-ease?
And I pray to the water - Won't you wash this soul clean?
And I'll float down your rivers and dissolve in your seas

Hungry ghosts had their fill from me
Old addictions distort what I need
Watched contentment drift far from me
I just needed a little silence
So I could breath

For so many years I'd been hiding away
For so many years I'd been shying away
For so many years I'd been flying away from this love
Love
Love
Love

Wakan Tanka
Deep in my heart
Great Spirit
Deep in my heart
Wakan Tanka
So deep in my heart
Great Mystery
So deep in my heart

And I give thanks to the earth (Pachamama)
For birthing our kind
And I give thanks to the wind
For those revelations that have blown my mind

'Cos for so many years I'd been hiding away
For so many years I'd been shying away
Drinking and sinking and sliding away
I've been twisting and turning and lying awake
I been screaming and dreaming of dying today
I've been crying and shying and hiding away from this love
Love
Love
Love

Aaaah aaah aaaah
Aaaah aaah aaaah
Aaaah aaah aaaah
Aaaah aaah aaaah

Great Spirit I am calling you in
Great Spirit show me how to begin
