Paul Pennyfeather, Mahtowin , and Bill White - Where Am I ? What Am I ? Why Am I?

from State of the Heart 4 by Bill White and Friends

/

lyrics

it was the night the romans came out of their graves
to reclaim their empire, or what was left of it
caligula floated like a cloud and burst above gibralter
screaming, "where am i? what am i? why am i ?"

life is a war
when it is over
the flowers on the battlefield
lie crushed

death is a door
into a clover
that spreads into gardens
of dust

it was the night of the ghost dance in the black hills
and the soul of crazy horse broke out of the prison
that was george washington's chisled face
screaming, "where am i? what am i? why am i ?"


life is a war
when it is over
the flowers on the battlefield
lie crushed

death is a door
into a clover
that spreads into gardens
of dust
