WOUNDED KNEE by Keith Beasley

Out on the Indian reservation
Arapaho, Navajo, Cherokee and Cheyenne
A million tears and more have fallen
The white man cometh and he stole the land
Out on the plains across the prairie
Sitting Bull, Kicking Bird, Crazy Horse and Red Cloud too
The white man speaks in broken promises
The iron horses come on rolling through

CHORUS:

So bury my heart at Wounded Knee
And set my spirit free, across the sky
And though we walk on trails of tears
No one sees and no one hears, as the red men cry
And when another white man lies
Another indian just dies my friend
And don't pretend you cannot see
Bury my heart at Wounded Knee
