Lyrics

What are the open plains but land to roam and cultivate Reciprocate, trade and share? To give and to take to respect the indian way I will no longer cry for where its past is gone Like a memory that floats in the air The song of the eagle feather Climbing in the wind On a hot summer day On a hot summer day I've seen eyes that were crying sadly Fists ready for the blown Seen turbulent skyes above me Buterflies in the snow Saw a world in a mask and a costume In a jingle of leaders to blame Seen the power in hands of the wrong man Who will always be just the same Seen boys cryes in little borders Risk a life to wash a dish Seen money? is the answer Is that your only wish? Saw a? so hopeful Seen a man who? his life As a woman not able to choose From a street that I need to survive Truth nothing but the truth What you're come up today? What you're come up today? The things you say When you give and you take When you take and you take and you take Truth nothing but the truth In tha name of nature The choices we've made Is it only me? Is it only you? Are we only living for today? Maybe today will be my day Before it's over I'll make a change Maybe today will be my day Before it's over I'll have my say May the walls on the road be witnesses Of the means that you're taking hard The words of your love be spoken At your table and? you appart May your long long offending members Be proud of who you become May your hands and your soul remind you Everyday that you are around May the house? be always clean Be the home to the ones I need May the dirt on the soil of your boots Make a track of the good will you'll leave May the words that were used to divide Float away, far away, out of sight And the mountain we still must climb Be the one we will climb to unite Truth nothing but the truth What you're come up today? What you're come up today? The things you say When you give and you take When you take and you take and you take Truth nothing but the truth In tha name of nature The choices we've made Is it only me? Is it only you? Are we only living for today? Maybe today will be my day Before it's over I'll make a change Maybe today will be my day Before it's over I'll have my say
