From the UTube page this is found on:
"'Medicine' is a song-anthem honoring the traditions
of folk medicine; plant-based medicine as a tool for
empowerment and healing. It is a call to action to
support the voices of the herbalists, healers, and
teachers… the roots, plants, trees, and stones… the
arts, the spirits, and the wild ones. It is an
honoring of all the many ways that we can be well,
and the radical and traditional ways in which we can
steward health within ourselves.
This song is a direct tribute to the people around
the world who are holding and teaching these ways of
herbal plant-based medicine, educating us all to know
our gardens, our forests, our plants and our own
bodies... to bring wellness back into our own hands
and communities. It is not a dismissal of modern
medicine, but a gratitude and honoring of its
ancestry and foundations within folkloric traditions.
As we are moving into a new season, a new time, and a
new chapter, we offer this song as a ritual anthem
for this transition and time of great change."

Lyrics:
"Medicine Wise men say that rushing is violence
and so is your silence
when its rooted in compliance
To stand firm in loving defiance,
make art your alliance
give voice to the fire
Move people to the beat of the wind
Gather yourself and begin
to dance the song until it ends
We are winners, champions of the light
forming in numbers and might
keep the truth close in sight…
Medicine Woman, Medicine Man
walking with grace, I know your face, and I trust
your hands
Medicine Woman, Medicine Man
walking with grace, I know your face, and I trust
your handsFind your teachers in the voice of the
forests
unplug you cant ignore this
wisdom of the voiceless
Remedies are bountiful and surround us
from the garden to the farthest
prayers made of star dustFind your healing in the
music that calls you
the voice that enthralls you
what do you belong to
Eyes out theres the setting of the sun
give thanks to each and everyone
the lesson is the…Medicine Woman, Medicine Man
walking with grace I know your face, and I trust your
hand
Medicine Woman, Medicine Man
walking with grace, I know your face, and I trust
your hand
Poem: I believe in bending backwards and extending
in my tracks
trip back
until the lesson is in action and
your yard is feeding
stop stark the disbelieving
cause the garden holds the shards
the medicine is in the seeds whenWe hold tight to our
right to protect and
we know our might is 10-fold in connection
our elders hold them bright lights
we protect them
the medicine is evident
the wolf, the hawk, the bear clan
We hold tight to our right to protect and
we know our might is 10-fold in connection
our elders hold them bright lights
we protect them
the medicine is evident
the wolf, the hawk, the bear clan…
Medicine Woman, Medicine Man
walking with grace, I know your face, and I trust
your hands
Medicine Woman, Medicine Man
walking with grace, I know your face, and I trust
your hands"
Oh yeah, baby... ;->

And here's another gem by them...! Sooo beautiful...
;) Will do better job w/reproducing lyrics of this
one here...lol...
"I am resilient
I trust the movement
I negate the chaos
Uplift the negative
I’ll show up at the table, again and again and again
I’ll close my mouth and learn to listen
These times are poignant
The winds have shifted
It’s all we can do
To stay uplifted
Pipelines through backyards
Wolves howlin' out front
Yeah, I got my crew but truth is what I want
Realigned and on point
Power to the peaceful
Prayers to the waters
Women at the center
All vessels open to give and receive
Let’s see the system brought down to its knees
[Verse 2]
I’m made of thunder
I’m made of lightning
I’m made of dirt, yeah
Made of the fine things
My father taught me that I’m a speck of dust
And this world was made for me
So let’s go and try our luck
I got my roots down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down deep (...etc...)
[Verse 3]
So what are we doing here? What has been done?
What are you gonna do about it when the world comes
undone?
My voice feels tiny and I’m sure so does yours
But put us all together, make a mighty roar
Roar
I am resilient
I trust the movement
I negate the chaos
Uplift the negative
I’ll show up at the table, again and again and again
I’ll close my mouth and learn to listen..."
;) Their wise points taken well indeed... ;)
