lyrics

Oh Red Jacket,
you were right
stars are in the ground
and there is dirt in the sky

Oh Red Jacket,
you were right
we call in a vision
we are your children
we have trusted like children,
like we're meant to be,
we keep love alive through suffering.

What now, what now?
We demand the new song
that's been coming on,
that is coming on -
What now, what now?
Rebuild the fire of the old ways,
come together a beautiful way.

If you’re crying for a vision
look to the ones
who tell us how
and do it now!

Brianna Lea Pruett ('83-15) was a dynamic, soulful singer-songwriter, artist, writer, filmmaker, and activist based in Northern California. Her most recent album, Gypsy Bells (Canyon Records) was nominated for a Native American Music Award (NAMA) in 2014.

"Brianna gave so much love and service to so many, despite her own significant challenges, during her 32 years of mortal life. She loved to be of service to others, familiar folk and strangers alike. Although she has preceded us to our heavenly home, we feel her love shining on through each person who shares a memory, laughter or tears, or inspiration regarding the years she walked this earth by our sides." ~ Keely S. Dorran (Brianna's sister)
