The Old Ones Left a Map

[Intro]

Mm

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh

[Verse 1]

My grandfather spoke to the river

He read the clouds before they turned

Every root and every feather

Held a lesson I had to learn

[Pre-Chorus]

He said look before you listen

Listen before you speak

The mountain keeps its wisdom

For the humble and the meek

[Chorus]

Look listen learn

That's the way it's always been

Look listen learn

Let the quiet pull you in

Watch the deer and watch the weather

Let it settle in your soul

Look listen learn

That's how you become whole

[Post-Chorus]

Hey-ya hey-ya

Hey-ya hey-oh

Hey-ya hey-ya

Hey-ya hey-oh

[Verse 2]

The cedar taught me patience

The crow he taught me pride

The fire taught me keeping

What the winter tries to hide

[Pre-Chorus]

So look before you listen

Listen before you speak

The old ones left a map here

In the stone beneath your feet

[Chorus]

Look listen learn

That's the way it's always been

Look listen learn

Let the quiet pull you in

Watch the deer and watch the weather

Let it settle in your soul

Look listen learn

That's how you become whole

[Post-Chorus]

Hey-ya hey-ya

Hey-ya hey-oh

Hey-ya hey-ya

Hey-ya hey-oh

[Bridge]

Seven generations forward

Seven voices from behind

I carry what they handed

I hand it down in kind

[Breakdown]

Look

Listen

Learn

Look

Listen

Learn

[Chorus]

Look listen learn

That's the way it's always been

Look listen learn

Let the quiet pull you in

Watch the deer and watch the weather

Let it settle in your soul

Look listen learn

That's how you become whole

[Post-Chorus]

Hey-ya hey-ya

Hey-ya hey-oh

Hey-ya hey-ya

Hey-ya hey-oh
