Kevin Danzig - The One You Feed

THE ONE YOU FEED (Kevin Danzig)
I went to visit my grandfather's grave
It had been so long since I had been there
I was an angry young man
When he was alive
He'd try and give me advice
But, I wouldn't listen
I had to go out and find out for myself
Until my eyes were open wide
There is a story he used to tell
One that I remember well
cbout two wolves who are always at war with each other
They live in all of us
CHORUS
I'd ask him grandfather what's it mean?
Which of my wolves will win?
Littlebird, He would say to me
The one you feed
One wolf stands for aggression and fear
Hatred, envy and greed
cnd all those things that most people
Think of as evil
The other wolf is as pure as the snow
Freshly fallen upon the mountain top
Some would even say God is living in his heart
CHORUS
I'd ask him grandfather what's it mean?
Which of my wolves will win?
Littlebird, He would say to me
The one you feed
Now, I have grandchildren of my own
Full of wonder and question
I do my best to deliver their every answer
Of all the stories I tell there is one
They are particularly fond of
cbout two wolves who are always at war with each other
They live in everyone
CHORUS TWO
They ask me grandfather what's it mean?
Which of my wolves will win?
I tell them what was taught to me
The one you feed
The one you feed
