Son of the sun
Son of the earth
The soul of life
Children of the world
Daughters of starlight
And daughters of mirth
Sisters of sunlight
Sisters of earth
Brothers of nature
Brothers of old
Brothers of legend
Like the story untold.
I had a dream
Of my own accord
We laid to rest
The gun and the sword
Buried the hatchet
Buried the stake
Bowed to each other
Peace to make.
The Earth supplies
And Nature feeds
But we turn and quake
For artificial needs
Come down to earth
Stay a while
The sun is shining
Sit there and smile.
I'm a bronze-skinned man
That's what I am
Got a guitar and a drum
That's where I come from
Spirit of the sun
Spirit of the sea
Worthy of a shadow
Come shine down on me.
Son of the sun
Son of the earth
Soul of life
Children of the world
Brothers of nature
Brothers of old
Brothers of the legends
And the story untold
Daughters of starlight
Daughters of mirth
Sisters of sunlight
Sisters of earth
I had a dream
Of my own accord
We laid to rest
The gun and the sword
Buried the hatchet
And buried the stake
Bowed to each other
Peace to make.
Oh son of the sun.

I was JUST about to fix/write the same lyrics up. I'm glad you did. They are so beautiful and powerful.

I had the chance to meet and spend time with Willie Dunn in 1993, when he was a performer at the Edmonton Arts Festival. During this time we talked about music and we spent time talking about his dreams for the future. I did know of him and his music before, previously spending hours listening to "The Ballad of Crowfoot" and many other songs that he was so eloquent in singing in expressing the stories of Indigenous people. Such a prolific songwriter that when I started producing music and recording he was certainly on my list of people I had to work with. This song "Old Man Gully" was a collaboration music that was recorded in Ottawa with himself and a dobro player. The files were then sent to Turtle Island Music studios in Saskatoon where the rest of the music and arrangement was completed. I thank Willie for the opportunity of having given me the chance to work with him. He is deeply missed.
