Sandpiper encounter

Mask Of Ahau

Hold your hands up to the sun,
Dance around and chant a song,
Swing your hips and have some fun,
Stomp your feet, vibrate the gong.

Shake the earth, embrace the air,
Sun is out it's all around,
Dance your heart in to a prayer,
Listen to the sacred sound.

Circle of sol, enlighten your soul,
Rays of sunlight, solar power,
We are human, we are whole,
Consuming the sun, like a sunflower.

Yellow sun that bakes the earth,
Essence of life it gives to we,
Fuel for the plants, bolsters the birth,
Taste the sunbeams blaze of glee.

Oh, the golden mask of Ahau.
