Running out stumbling
I’m wounded buffalo
Pure adrenaline is pumping in my veins
Long as I’m running
I’m dangerous and cunning
But my transmission slipping
Yes that’s my blood that’s dripping
I I’ll feel like I’ll never run like thunder again.

Running out stumbling I’m wounded buffalo
Harpoon stuck deep in my liver
Full gallop speed
I should rest not to bleed
But my thirsty story is over
I ain’t got no time to graze the clover
Today I run home like a river

Running out stumbling
I’m wounded buffalo
Spirit trying to get in the wind
The sky is black, I got lightning shafts
All my past days flicker
It’s only my brain is spinning quicker
Into your hands I commend my spirit

[harmonica interlude]

Running out stumbling
I’m wounded buffalo
Blood blurring my vision
Just like rolling thunder
It’s the sound of distant drumming
It’s encouraging us home
That’s the elders welcoming us home
They say welcome to the buffalo mission

Running out stumbling
I’m wounded buffalo
Moving now anti-gravity over ground
Light as a feather
We make tracks together
Finally laying our burdens down
We’re breaking trek now to rest around
The white buffalo mound
