Great Law of Peace

Intro) Under the pines where the white roots grow, Hiawatha’s voice began to flow. A dream of peace through a shattered land, A timeless call we still demand. (Verse 1) Grief carved his path, his heart torn wide, The wars had stolen, the tears had dried. But a spark remained, a fire unbound, A voice to carry where hope was found. “Lay down your rage, let the hatchet sleep, Bury the past where the shadows creep.” Through the forest’s hush, his words took flight, A vision rising in the fading light. (Chorus) RiverWind flowing, through the years it calls, Hiawatha’s wisdom, breaking the walls. The Great Law of Peace, a bridge through the pain, A light eternal, an unbroken chain. (Verse 2) He walked with the Peacemaker, hand in hand, Uniting the nations, reclaiming the land. The Mohawk’s anger, the Seneca’s pride, Each found a place where the white roots abide. “One council fire, one voice, one mind, A tree of peace for all to find.” Its branches stretched to shelter the way, While the eagle watched and night turned to day. (Bridge 1) Oh, RiverWind flowing, through valleys and streams, Carrying truth, unraveling schemes. No dam can hold where the current runs deep, The promise of peace is a vow we keep. (Verse 3) The hatchets buried, the weapons laid low, The council vowed what the people must know. “No more bloodshed, no more despair, The Great Law of Peace is the breath we share.” Under the white pine, the Five became one, A covenant sealed under moon and sun. A bond that endures, though time may divide, Still, the RiverWind flows with the tide. (Chorus) RiverWind flowing, through the years it calls, Hiawatha’s wisdom, breaking the walls. The Great Law of Peace, a bridge through the pain, A light eternal, an unbroken chain. (Verse 4) For the weary and lost, for the fractured apart, The Great Law remains, a map for the heart. Injustice crumbles where unity grows, Through the RiverWind’s path, the spirit flows. “Peace is no relic, no distant dream, It’s the force that binds the scattered streams.” Hiawatha’s plight is the struggle we face, To heal the world with the wisdom of grace. (Bridge 2) Oh, RiverWind flowing, through mountains and plains, Whispering hope where the darkness reigns. A song for the broken, a guide for the blind, The Great Law endures in the hearts of mankind. (Verse 5) For the jaded who scoff, who cling to despair, Hiawatha’s truth is still in the air. “Rise from the ashes, unite the divide, The roots of peace run deep inside.” The rivers will carve through stone and sand, Echoing the wisdom of this ancient land. From the council fire to the modern stage, The Great Law flows through every age. (Final Chorus) RiverWind flowing, through the years it calls, Hiawatha’s wisdom, breaking the walls. The Great Law of Peace, a bridge through the pain, A light eternal, an unbroken chain. (Outro) Let the drumbeat echo, let the fires burn bright, Hiawatha’s truth is our guiding light. Through the RiverWind flowing, peace will reign, The Great Law of Peace forever remains.
