Ellis Paul - Chief Joseph lyrics

rate me

Uh, uh, uh

Uh, uh, uh

I am the child of ... in the wilds of...

I am thunder rolling down the mountain

I was born a chief son.

The ... were my people

Looking Glass was my friend

And we lived our lives in the Western Hills

Till the white man came...

Oh , closing in!

Chorus: (x2)

From where the sun now stands

I will find no more forever

And we will all remain together

From where the sun now stands.

Ten thousand years the land was ours

If any can.. the land

We believe no trees, no wind, no .. are the property of men

General Howard he came to find this

His government will not agree

So the land was claimed by the white men

And the people had to flee

The people had to flee.

Chorus: (x2)

From where the sun now stands

I will find no more forever

And we will all remain together

From where the sun now stands.

.. mountains just miles from free man's hand

We sold our homes, sold our bones, surrendered our land

What is the price for freedom, what is the pain and grief?

And what do we surrender, now we live our lives in peace

Lives our lives in peace!

Chorus: (x2)

From where the sun now stands

I will find no more forever

And we will all remain together

From where the sun now stands.
