Luka Bloom - Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee Lyrics

Send "Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee" ringtone to your cell

When the river runs to the mountain

And the birds swim in the sea

Only then, can you justify

Taking a man's liberty

When we lived on the prairie

Hunting buffalo

Happy in the sunshine

Contented in the snow

We cherished our rivers

We nourished our lands

Our children grew in freedom

Into men and women strong, women strong

And then came the white man

Searching for gold

We opened our arms to you

Welcomed young and old, young and old

And then you built your railways

And then you came in scores

And then you came in thousands

And then a million more, a million more

All this time you told us

That we should live as one

And then you brought your armies

To throw us out with guns, out with guns

You are the savage

We are the wise

We told the truth, man

You told the lies, told the lies

You slaughtered our children

You'd murder your own

Your greed for yellow metal

Drove us from our homes, from our homes

When the river runs to the mountain

And the birds swim in the sea

Only then, can you justify

Taking a man's liberty

You've taken away all our lives

You've claimed our liberty

So bury my heart at Wounded Knee
