Wounded Knee Lyrics

Walela Wounded Knee

Bury my heart at Wounded Knee
Where a baby's blood was
A soldiers pay
Bury my heart at Wounded Knee
Let it lie with my brother's
Til the judgement day
My people were the earth
And the earth was home
When they stole their land
They stole their bones
Let my people, let my people pass
Crossing over this Jordan is all we ask

Take the eyes of the guns of peace away
My people can't eat promises
But they can pray
Now my blood is flowing back to Tennessee
And my soul is moving in and out of reach
I'm dancing cause I carry my father's seed
And I'm walking on this earth to set my people free
Bury my heart at Wounded Knee
