I hope the rain holds off just for today I hope it doesn't rain on your parade Kick up your white heels and wave your flags around Kick up your white heels parading in our town Oh, where is my tribe Oh, where is my tribe All around the side streets, needles look for veins Where bullets found their mark in old rebellions Others stand saluting, saying this is who I am A piece of cloth, a field, an island Oh, where is my tribe Oh, where is my tribe Joyce lies in Zurich, Beckett lies in France What anthem has the tune to their dance
Who is my tribe, is it only green Or is it in the rainbow of my dreams Oh, where is my tribe Oh, where is my tribe My tribe is the swallow, flying to be home My tribe is the heron, who never feels alone My tribe is in Pine Ridge, my tribe's in Alice Springs My tribe is in the heartbeat of all things Home's a place inside, I take it with me I meet my tribe wherever I may be It's good to lay your head down outside It's good to dance around the tribe Oh, where is my tribe...
