Poems by Benjamin GoodBird



"Dance on"

Ever take time to watch the wind....
Breeze through the tall summer grass
swaying almost to the ground.
Twirling and swirling so graceful.
Yet so strong.
All the colors are magic in this picture
It's here and in this world....
Dance on

Sheep bells ring in time with the drum beat
Singers tell a story through their song
fringe flying in one direction at a time
all the colors are magic inb this picture
it's here and in this world....
Dance on

The Buffalo, Eagle, Porcupine, and the Deer Nations
are here.... make them dance, make them dance
all the colors are magic in this picture
it's here and in this world....
Dance on

Such a sight to see!!!!
Is it the wind!!!! Is it the wind!!!!
Your people say, Dance on, Grass Dancer, Dance on.
The colors are magic in this picture
It's here and in this world....
Dance on.




"The Question"

Is it the "Wild Bulls" or is it the "Wild Woman"
Who lays the deepest scars in your soul
Both want your life and you love'm both
Bull Rider, Bull Rider, your no stranger to danger
But do you give a damn?

Tomorrow might your up in Denver
They're gonna try to control you, but they don't know you
As your shooting for the 90's, Dreaming of the finals
Both want your life, and you love'm both
Bull Rider, Bull Rider, your no stranger to danger
But do you give a damn?

You know, they can be pretty smooth
They're powerful and sly, with moves of a cat
Both want your life, and you love'm both
Bull Rider, Bull Rider, your no stranger to danger
But do you give a damn?

It's all skill, and the luck of the draw
So play your hand after the 8, leave em there....
And don't look back
Both want your life, and you love'm both
Bull Rider, Bull Rider, your no stranger to danger
But do you give a damn?

Is it the "Wild Bulls" or is it the "Wild Woman"
Who lay's the deepest scars in your soul
Both want your life, and you love'm both
Bull Rider, Bull Rider, your no stranger to danger
But do you give a damn?

"Rodeo life" .... Words can't describe it, Trophy Buckles and all....
Your just a happy memory that came and gone
Bull Rider, Bull Rider, "Wild Bull Rider"
Do you give a damn? ....
