White Buffalo
Music & Lyrics, prelude orchestral arrangement, and story concept by Tysa Goodrich

Dream of the White Buffalo

It is a story about destiny
A dream of an American Indian
His soul remembers
And there’s an awakening in all those who share the ancient vision
There is a dance by the fire in the middle of the night...
The loneliness, the ecstasy
What is this dream?
Beyond the light is wisdom
Beyond the flame is truth,
a virgin future, a new frontier,
and a brilliant star that shines from the heavens
White Buffalo
Music & Lyrics by Tysa Goodrich

White Buffalo

Shadows of dark mist before the dawn
Touched by my soul
I've got somewhere to go
with that first light from the morning star
I watch for the White Buffalo

Fathers of ages who tried to rewrite All That Is
But got caught by the power
Lost it forever
until the portal shines
falling star
The journey tonight is a lift to the past
A place where your soul came to rest


I saw a feather falling from the sky
I can't keep this vision inside
I hope that I can bring it through the light
All that you need to start living it, this is your dream
What you feel, what you see
what you believe
In the stillness, hear the music, your destiny
There's a lifetime, a fire, a name
It's forever, you're the keeper of the flame
See it shine, White Buffalo


Someone who waits here in darkness
sees light from your soul
What had long been foretold
now returns you to the Ancient One
There he sits
Silently holding a gift from your past
He speaks your name gently at last


I saw a feather falling from the sky
I can't keep this vision inside
I hope that I can bring it through the light
Look up above, see the Goddess in shimmers of love
Face the East, call the wind, Rafael
Call the water from behind me, Gabriel
At my right hand, the fire, Michael
At my left, stands the earth, Uriel
Back to the light of the White Buffalo
(Light from a star)
