Panther Medicine Lyrics

Big cat energy

Silent and wise

Your eyes met my soul

And I came alive

From shifting sands

You followed me home

I brought you along

Embracing Unknown

But the People

Protested decried and objected

"We can't have this wild thing in our midst!"

The civilized choice

I silenced my knowing

To follow the tribe

And their rules

For life

You left peacefully

And I ached with deep sorrow

Missing the thick presence

Of your powerful grace

My Kind couldn't imagine

A call to more

You opened my mind

Sending reason out the door

Precarious green island

Lush but unstable

The dwellers herein die

Believing this Fable:

"Familiar

Is Better than Foreign

What was

Dictates our limits to what can be"

But Panther and I have a secret we share:

Sometimes the Unknowns

Are the best ones to dare
