I've been colonized for far too long,
How will I ever find my home?
I've been colonized for far too long,
How will I ever find that ohm?
Ohm!
The old dirt road is the only road I've known,
Trying hard to make my way back home,
The mountains are calling as the fertile Earth unfolds,
I can almost hear that ancient ohm.
Ohm!
These streets are full of people celebrating palm machines,
I rather lay unclad in fields of green,
Where the pine hill breathes onto my bones and through my toes,
Breathe on me that sacred sound of ohm.
Ohm!
I'll make my escape from streets of waste and clouds of smoke,
To rocky hills where mullein grows in droves,
Where the Platte Clove sweetly flows between the devil's clove,
Delivering the smell of mountain rose.
It is there where I begin to find my home,
And it is there where I begin to chant and moan.
Ohm!
Because I've been colonized for far too long,
I didn't think I'd ever find my home.
Yes I had once been colonized but now I'm free to roam,
I'm free to throw off my dirty clothes.
And drown my stark white hips into stream foam,
And press my sun-kissed lips to sacred stone,
To taste the trail my ancestors once roamed,
Then fall into the Earth to howl and moan.
Ohm!
