A change is forever - mine came today Is what's best in us worth trying to save? I've raised my empty hand Too many brothers and sisters Gunned down by the government man The land is my mother She is worth dying for I've walked the path of peace But I ain't running no more Ain't no love here Love's been sacrificed Promises buried beneath The trail of broken treaties They come with numb senses They come with hearts of stone No knowledge no honor Digging up my grandfather's bones They come to buy and steal But they don't understand We're only here to watch over No one can own the land They got their gold and their silver Money won't be enough When they try to explain to their children Why they've poisoned their blood Ain't no love here Love's been sacrificed Promises buried beneath The trail of broken treaties I am lightning Rainbow Earth and night The sky is crying The night is falling God shed his tears I can see him so clearly I've been here ten thousand years As long as the four winds blow Our spirits remain The four winds will never Blow away America's shame
Wonderful song
This extended remix really should have been included on the boxed set.
A real American anthem!
A change is forever - mine came today
Is what's best in us worth trying to save?
I've raised my empty hand
Too many brothers and sisters
Gunned down by the government man
The land is my mother
She is worth dying for
I've walked the path of peace
But I ain't running no more
Ain't no love here
Love's been sacrificed
Promises buried beneath
The trail of broken treaties
They come with numb senses
They come with hearts of stone
No knowledge no honor
Digging up my grandfather's bones
They come to buy and steal
But they don't understand
We're only here to watch over
No one can own the land
They got their gold and their silver
Money won't be enough
When they try to explain to their children
Why they've poisoned their blood
Ain't no love here
Love's been sacrificed
Promises buried beneath
The trail of broken treaties
I am lightning
Rainbow
Earth and night
The sky is crying
The night is falling
God shed his tears
I can see him so clearly
I've been here ten thousand years
As long as the four winds blow
Our spirits remain
The four winds will never
Blow away America's shame
