Thunderbird Rises

Chorus

As the day rips open the sky

Thunderbird ascends taking flight

Flap those mighty wings and the whirlwind spin

See the havoc feel the kaos begin

Thunderbird lightning flashes from the eyes

The awesome sound tears through the skies

Thunderbird

Thunderbird

Verse 1

Grandmother drum is humming low

I feel the ground begin to sway

Somewhere the canyon holds its breath

My cousin hums the old refrain

We circled slow around the fire

And watched the embers climb the dark

Pre-Chorus

Mm hmm the wind is turning

Mm hmm the smoke is learning

Chorus

As the day rips open the sky

Thunderbird ascends taking flight

Flap those mighty wings and the whirlwind spin

See the havoc feel the kaos begin

Thunderbird lightning flashes from the eyes

The awesome sound tears through the skies

Thunderbird

Thunderbird

Verse 2

My hands are painted red and gold

The eagle feather brushes past

I hear a thousand voices old

They gather close and hold me fast

Let the saxophone remember

What the drum already knows

Bridge

Rise up rise up

Let the whirlwind carry

Rise up rise up

Every sister every brother

Rise up rise up

We are older than the weather

Chorus

As the day rips open the sky

Thunderbird ascends taking flight

Flap those mighty wings and the whirlwind spin

See the havoc feel the kaos begin

Thunderbird lightning flashes from the eyes

The awesome sound tears through the skies

Thunderbird

Thunderbird

Post-Chorus

Hey ya hey ya

Hey ya hey ya

Ho way hi ya

Ho way hi ya
