[Verse 1] Walk with the ash in your palm Step by the ring of stones Hear how the earth keeps time Under our bare bones Smoke in the cedar air Old names waking slow (Old names waking slow)
[Pre-Chorus] Raise up your hands now Turn to the fire Feel that ground answer Feel it go higher
[Chorus] Circle of smoke Circle of smoke Carry us home Carry us home Drum in my chest now Drum in my chest now Circle of smoke Carry us home (Carry us home)
[Verse 2] Moon on the buckskin drum Flute like a cracked-out star Rattles in woven hands Pulling the dark apart Faces in ember glow Calling the night to dance Calling the night to dance
[Pre-Chorus] Raise up your hands now Turn to the fire Feel that ground answer Feel it go higher
[Chorus] Circle of smoke Circle of smoke Carry us home Carry us home Drum in my chest now Drum in my chest now Circle of smoke Carry us home (Carry us home)
[Bridge] Hush to the pinewood edge Hush to the river bend What was lost in the dust Comes back again Comes back again
[Final Chorus] Circle of smoke Circle of smoke Carry us home Carry us home Drum in my chest now Drum in my chest now Circle of smoke Carry us home (Carry us home)
