lyrics

Brothers in heart,
Soul-Brother, are we,
Though in blood we be no more than friends.
I value your life
With all that is in me,
More than my life or its own brief end.

Earth humbled, Skywise
How it must hurt your heart
When you last to the skies.
Together we stand
In a world not our own:
Skywise from the sky
And me from my home.

For too many seasons
We've lived in this sand,
With no deer and no trees to behold.
I can hear the Holt call
Like a maid in my dreams,
And a cry of pain howls from my soul.

Wolfbrother, let's ride
To the land of sweet greenness
Where our fathers died!
No Sun People we,
Our hearts must run free!
If I run to the sun
Will you still follow me?

When I finally have peace
And my own family,
How can discontent stir in my mind?
Why do I want to run
Back to sad memories
With the wolf and my friend at my side?

My wolf-blood runs high
Every night that the moon
Shows her face in the sky.
This life was not meant
For those made such as we.
Run away with me, Skywise,
Our homeland to see.

I’ll not stay still too long,
For this is not my home;
To a place far from here I must flee.
I know you, friend, will come
To that land of our own,
To the Holt we were both loath to leave.

Soul-Brother Skywise,
Let no one tie you down
In your search for the sky.
They can't tame a wolf's soul,
Or set soft chains on me.
Let us run from this safety
And once more be free.
