here i am peyote
     under the magic blanket 
     tonight when i go to work 
           i carry you with me 
           yr healing powers 
           hidden inside me 
     forgive me this sacrilege 
          of taking you to work 
          it is always
          for the good of others 
     forgive me this sacrilege 
          of irregular prayers 
          i have many things to do 
     forgive me this sacrilege
          it is always for the good of others
          that i leave yr altars unaftended
     
     tonight you will be hidden inside me 
          but i will feel yr healing strength 
     tonight you will be hidden inside me
          may those around me feel yr wisdom 
     tonight you will be hidden inside me 
          may those around me feel
          yr compassion emanating from me
     
     oh lord of the ancient medicine 
          i invoke yr aid 
          take away my ailment
          give it to one who has earned it

     oh messenger of the spirits
          carry this pain away
          & help me in my quest for wisdom
     
     oh most holy doorway to the infinite 
          i am tired    / take away my tiredness 
          give me the courage 
          to enter yr house

     oh most holy green spirit
          protect me from the evil eye of the police
          & protect me from the words of false prophets
     
     oh prince of the deeply buried knowledge 
          help me to recall yr rituals 
          i will teach them to others

     oh lord of the ancient medicine
          here i am
          under the magic blanket
