Origin: Original music and Lyrics: by Joules Graves. Released on her 1999 album Waterfall Child. In her version, Joules Graves sings “Angel’s singin’” instead of “Wolf and Raven,” among other differences. At the Wilderness Awareness School, we sang it as written below. We were unable to contact Joules Graves, but the song is well-known enough to be considered a folk song in the public domain.

Wood, stone, feather, and bone, roaring of the ocean guide us home

Wood, stone, feather, and bone, roaring of the ocean guide us home

Wolf and raven, wolf and raven

In my soul, in my soul, HUH

In my soul, in my soul, HUH

River, sea, cedar tree, howling of the wind gonna set us free

River, sea, cedar tree, howling of the wind gonna set us free

Eagle and salmon, eagle and salmon

In my soul, in my soul, HUH

In my soul, in my soul, HUH

Spirits dance, fires burn, glowing of the moon I’m not alone

Spirits dance, fires burn, glowing of the moon I’m not alone

Beaver and alder, beaver and alder

In my soul, in my soul, HUH

In my soul, in my soul, HUH

– Written by Hannah Whitehead 2014:

Flowers, leaves, roots, and seeds

Medicine Plants gonna bring us ease

Flowers, leaves, roots, and seeds

Medicine Plants gonna bring us ease

Tea and Poultice, Tea and Poultice

In my soul, in my soul, HUH

In my soul, in my soul, HUH
