The Last Wolf
Words & music © 1999 Ginger Hulsopple This song was written For the Wolf people who have been taken off the endangered list and hunting reopened on them, even on Quebec’s last full blood pack. The last part of the song includes a protection prayer that was used by several groups simultaneously with the Native American shamans for the Wolf People.Dm C Dm
Alone he walks the forest deep
C Dm
In silence does he brother seek
C Dm
Recalling the times of his young days
C Dm
He ran with the wind and he hunted the hare
C Dm
He danced with the spirits of water and air
C Dm
He ran with the pack in his young daysChorus
Dm C Dm
The song of the Wolf in silence is cried
Dm C Dm
When his day is done, the forest will dieC Dm
He knows he's the last; his pack he'll not find
C Dm
They fell to the arrows of ignorance blind
C Dm
And his is the voice of the last wolf
C Dm
This sad spectre raised, it is yet to be
C Dm
And man must awaken, his peril to see
C Dm
For his world will die with the last wolf ChorusC Dm
God of the Forest and Lady of Light
C Dm
Shelter our brothers who run in the night
C Dm
That never we mourn for the last wolf
C Dm
The moon is full. The sky is clear.
C Dm
To all who would harm, may Wolf not appear
C Dm
And guard him for he is our brother. Chorus
