Risk - Bury My Heart lyrics

rate me

When the day is done

I'm walking down the docks

Side by side with old companions

We sit down to watch the sunset

Over dirty rocks

We're sons of the ancient hunters

We are born for

Hunting game

Endless pain

There I want to stay

No more fish in the stream

The American Dream

Has destroyed the land of Indians

White man's money's ruling again

But we stand up to them

Talkin', smokin'

Visions will lead us the way

Goin' to

Mountains high

Eagles fly

There I want to die

I will rise and fall

Bury my heart

At Wounded Knee

They have slain my father's body

But his spirit is still alive

He rides across a sacred country

In freedom and eternal life

I will join him at his fire

Some day

It's my favorite desire

To hear the tale when he said

I will rise and fall

Bury my heart

At Wounded Knee
