Indian Saga

Our ancestors walked this land in days gone by
Never knowing the hows or whys
They lived in harmony with nature day by day
Believing that they knew the way

They cared for the animals and the land
But they knew not what was at hand
They farmed and hunted for only what was needed
But the wise ones' words were never heeded

Strangers came to take it all
But they would not heed the call
They met and planned to save their nation
But they never believed there could be such devastation

Remember our fathers for what they tried to do
And all the sorrow they had to go through
As you look at this land and how it is now
See what they've done and let your head bow

Life was so peaceful for those that went before
Until deceipt came and opened the door
Now this land has been taken by others
Those who will never claim to be our brothers.
