You Don't Know Me

My bones are hurting Quivering from The lack of words The pain has settled No ways to tell That yesterday Has been lost Just slipped away I dream Of a tale That could recount Without a fault A whole life lived But you don't look here You don't see me You don't hear me You don't listen You don't speak to me You don't know me 'Cause I'm a prisoner in my own land I'm a sleeping hurricane Don't you wait 'til I get angry Don't wait 'til I break my chains You don't know me You don't know me You don't know who I am You're here as a conqueror of my earth You've imprisons me in my lands Deprived me Of my territory Deprived me Of my identity You've chained me on reserves you've created You want to be the master of my soul You don't know my legends No, you don't know my history You don't hear me You don't listen You don't speak to me You don't know me 'Cause I'm a prisoner in my own land I'm a sleeping hurricane Don't you wait 'til I get angry Don't wait 'til I break my chains You don't know me You don't know me You don't know who I am You call me Blackfoot and Blood You call me Slavey, You call me Alabama You call me Mohawk You call me Nez Perce and Crow You call me Flathead You call me Greenlandic You call me but you don't know me You don't hear me You don't listen You don't speak to me You don't know me 'Cause I'm a prisoner in my own land I'm a sleeping hurricane Don't you wait 'til I get angry Don't wait 'til I break my chains You don't know me You don't know me You don't know who I am 'Cause I'm a prisoner in my own land I'm a sleeping hurricane Don't you wait 'til I get angry Don't wait 'til I break my chains
