down on the sacred ground
Wrap me in the deep warm earth
Take me where them trees stand tall,
by the waters and the river bend.
Let me face the rising sun,
command my spirit to the wind.
Make no monuments, mortal crowns,
don't speak my name again
Lay me where the forest blooms
In the land that's seen no flower
Carried from every springtime
Give me peace and give me rest
Lay me down on the mountain crest
Bury me softly without a sound
Make no monument to mortal ground
Don't speak my name again
Bury me quick and bury me deep
Without no coffin or shrouded sheet,
Wrap me in the mother earth,
so I can nurture the land's
Give me joy and give me song,
carry the struggle wide and long.
Do not grieve and do not weep,
mortal memories are all we keep.
Make no margaret's immortal crown,
you'll speak my name again
Let the willow dew fall on that grave
Give me water, give me fire
Give me rainbows in the sky
Don't speak my name again
