Lyrics

The face of one Biddy Mason
Stopped me in my tracks
Walkin' through the ranger station
I heard the coyotes howlin'
Joshua Tree at night
Where Mother Earth is dreamin'
And my soul awakens

The face of one Biddy Mason
Shines down on all of them
Who find themselves alive once again
They dragged her through the dust
They beat her down in the sand
Empty is the place
When you wake up to your faith

Now there were so many men
I'm talkin' 'bout way back then
Settin' up their minin' towns
For all the gold down in the ground
Their children all alone
Their starved mothers wept late at night
And what did become of them
Heartbroken in a hard desert land

The face of one Biddy Mason
Stopped me in my tracks
Walkin' through the ranger station
Now I'm a wolf that's howlin'
An eagle that's soarin'
Where Mother Earth is dreamin'
And my soul awakens

The face of one Biddy Mason
Shines down on all of them
Who find themselves alive once again
