Native Son |
| I’ve seen many moons through these wrinkled eyes |
| The years have made me old but they’ve made me wise |
| Now the white man lives where our rivers run |
| For now better days have passed |
| We walk the streets of broken glass |
| Our people vanished as snow before the summer sun |
| Like dogs we were driven from this place |
| Such injustice, time will not erase |
| All these changes cannot be undone |
| When you feel the anger inside of you |
| Hold your head high — let your aim be true |
| Though your heart beats like a drum |
| My native son |
| Once there was a time my little one |
| Before the wagons — before the soldiers' guns |
| When this land was ours as far as the eagle flies |
| No white flag — no broken truce |
| With few words one can speak the truth — I don’t hear it |
| Time won’t heal it now |
| With each new day that comes to pass |
| Will the great spirit free us all at last? |
| He said we were the chosen ones |
| For all we had there’s nothin' left |
| We won’t forgive — we can’t forget |
| You know that your day will come |
| My native son |
| With each new day that comes to pass |
| Will the great spirit free us all at last? |
| What has happened can never be undone |
| When I was young — not yet a man |
| The sun rose and set upon our land |
| We were the chosen ones |
| My native son |
