Man Walks Among Us

Warm are the winds on the desert
 A whirlwind is dancing around
 I stop to survey all the beauty that's here
 When a shadow moves out 'cross the ground
 It's an eagle that circles above me
 And he screams to his friends on the hill
 "Stay close together, move not a feather
 Man walks among us, be still, be still
 Man walks among us, be still"
 Everything hides, but I see them
 I've spotted an old mother quail
 I look close and see, looking right back at me
 The eyes of a young cottontail
 I see a coyote sneaking
 As he crawls through the brush on the hill
 And the eagle screams down, "Stay close to the ground
 Man walks among us, be still, be still
 Man walks among us, be still."
 20 feet high in the side of a cactus
 I see a hole where the butcher bird stays
 If mortals could choose, and if heaven should ask us
 Here's where I'd want to spend all of my days
 Soon will be gone all the desert
 Cities will cover each hill
 Today will just be a fond memory
 Man walks among us, be still, be still
 Man walks among us, be still
