Lyrics to Two Wolves

A Native American grandfather

found his grandson crying after school

and discovered from the sobbing child

that a playgound bully had been cruel



I wish that I could hurt him said the child

and when I get big that's what I'll do

that would make me sad said the grandfather

then I'll know the dark wolf is taking you



(chorus)

There are two wolves

There are two wolves

and within each heart these two wolves fight

one is hatred

rage and darkness

and the other wolf is love and light



the old man put his arms around the child

said the thing you want is called revenge

but when you try to hurt the one who's hurt you

that's the momment you become like them



the old man said i know what you are feeling

being human i have felt it too

the child looked into the ancient eyes then

said gradfather tell me what to do



(chorus)

There are two wolves

there are two wolves

and within my heart these two wolves fight

one is hatred

rage and darkness

and the other wolf is love and light



The Old Man said child do not fear this battle

though each Wolf will make the other bleed

it is in your power to choose the victor

the Wolf that wins will be the one you feed



(chorus)

There are two wolves

there are two wolves

and within each heart these two wolves fight

one is hatred

rage and darkness

and the other wolf is love and light



one is hatred rage and darkness

and the other wolf is love and light
