Basic Rule



Father Sun gave us permission,

Mother Earth led us through

When we jumped in a Holly Mission

 And evangelized a Jew...


    When we jumped in the sacred ocean

Of our lust and a basic fire

When the spirit of our devotion

Lifted us in a charm of desire.



When we had our first cup of tea

And we walked along the river

Hoping that in the next tee-pee

All the world will be just different.



Different men, different kids, different women

Different law about love and kindness

Do not lie, do not steal, do not kill:

Indian Village Happiness.
