I rode to my homeland
|
And carried the memory
|
Over the valley below
|
And the heart of a nation
|
The war cry was blazing
|
And the loss of my brothers and sons
|
Were all in the name of civilization
|
|
The empty moon saw I was leaving
|
With pride and hope in my heart
|
The mountains talk of
|
Far away dreaming
|
|
So came the invasion
|
Across from a faraway place
|
Into the new world
|
With guns and new order
|
They gave us religion
|
Then took away all of our rights
|
And forced us to live
|
Behind their new border
|
|
The four winds blow
|
And bring new vision
|
Where children laugh without fear
|
The land will speak
|
The people will listen
|
|
But yesterday my life was fading
|
With every reason to die
|
Ten miles to the north
|
As I rode my red horse
|
In the dying sun
|
And then when I saw
|
The white soldiers
|
One hundred or more in a line
|
Kill for the land
|
Saying their law will stand
|
What kind of god do they see?
|
|
The fighting is over
|
No matter what fear they might bring
|
My country will live
|
The dust clouds are falling
|
I stood by the river
|
And breathing the air that is life
|
Within the black hills
|
My spiritual calling
|
|
What kind of god can this be?
|
