Native Son

<br>Ive seen many moons through these wrinkled eyes<br><br>The years have made me old but theyve made me wise<br><br>Now the white man lives where our rivers run<br><br><br><br>For now better days have passed<br><br>We walk the streets of broken glass<br><br>Our people vanished as snow before the summer sun<br><br>Like dogs we were driven from this place<br><br>Such injustice, time will not erase<br><br>All these changes cannot be undone<br><br><br><br>When you feel the anger inside of you<br><br>Hold your head high - let your aim be true<br><br>Though your heart beats like a drum<br><br>My native son<br><br><br><br>Once there was a time my little one<br><br>Before the wagons - before the soldiers guns<br><br>When this land was ours as far as the eagle flies<br><br><br><br>No white flag - no broken truce<br><br>With few words one can speak the truth - I dont hear it<br><br>Time wont heal it now<br><br><br><br>With each new day that comes to pass<br><br>Will the great spirit free us all at last? <br><br>He said we were the chosen ones<br><br><br><br>For all we had theres nothin left<br><br>We wont forgive - we cant forget<br><br>You know that your day will come<br><br>My native son<br><br><br><br>With each new day that comes to pass<br><br>Will the great spirit free us all at last? <br><br>What has happened can never be undone<br><br><br><br>When I was young - not yet a man<br><br>The sun rose and set upon our land<br><br>We were the chosen ones<br><br>My native son
