Sitting
Bull saw it in a dream
White men falling from
the sky
And for a time
We believed
The prophecy was fulfilled
The soldiers came to
kill us
Our women, our children
Our future, our dreams
Foolish men
They did not see
They join in the Ghost
Dance
Now
Together in sorrow
Our blood flows like
two rivers into one
Brothers we are
Brothers we have always
been
Oh Mother Earth
Forgive us.
Truly
Now
There is a falling
from the sky
The sacred hoop is
broken
But different hands
with different voice
Hear the ancient songs
And soon
All men will see
That truth and justice
Must
Prevail.
