lyrics

16 days to prepare
And gather the snakes
Defined roles of male youth
Who heed to the priest

Align young ones and rise from the dirt
Hopi dancers pray for the earth
Shedding the skin, giving new life
With serpents our lives forever entwined

Don’t stray from this sacred path

Bodies bare to the world
Face painted black
Commence the ritual
And march to the beat

Align young ones and rise from the dirt
Hopi dancers pray for the earth
Shedding the skin, giving new life
With serpents our lives forever entwined

Don’t stray from this sacred path

A shared belief
A cultural healing
The snake’s entwined
Our roots realized

The old ones pray for the rain
In deserts our roots remain
The answers your heart will seek
Will bring you to your knees

A shared belief
A cultural healing
