Letra de Medicinals
I was walking through the National Mall Thinking about medicinals, how they used to grow thereWhen the ground was a marshland Undisturbed by human hands, then I heard their voicesSumac said (we were always here) The Witch Hazel (we were always here) Sassafras (we were always here) Bluestem grasses (always here)I looked about, and what did I see? Medicinals grow around me, rising from the gravel Sumac and the Witch Hazel Come to soothe our primal sores, come to soothe our troublesSumac said (we were always here) The Witch Hazel (we were always here) Sassafras (we were always here) Bluestem grasses (always here)But do you see that woman, sitting in the wheelchair? With her Redskins cap on backwards What's that she's singing? As from inside a paper wrapper She sips from a bottle A new painkiller For the native people
