"Nothing We Could Do"

"You are going to love your new home."

The thunder rolled, across the plains

Filled with anger, followed by rain

A coming truth, would soon be seen

Our native world, became just a dream.



They pushed us west, without a care

Took our world, gave us white man's prayer

Killed our game, raped our land

Tried to break our spirit, with their hand.

In the name of greed, with no recourse

Silent death, from a devil's seed

Wanted our gold, the fertile soil

Abused our women, left the rest to spoil.




Then came disease, backed by decrees

Dying natives, down on knees

The setting sun, had just begun

While the first peoples world, came undone.



Yet we wondered why

Did we anger Father Sky

Was it something we did not do

With the tears in our eyes

We wiped away the lies

Just trying to get through...



But the bottom line is the whole thing

Left us nothing we could do.....



When they waded in to the shore

Sea was calm, yet the thunder roared

Under dusk and cover

It was a one way war.



The first to fall had no name

A victim of the evil game

Dragged down under
Without a bit of shame....



Yet we wondered why

Had we angered Father Sky

Was it something we did not do

With the tears in our eyes                            

We wiped away the lies



"Thanks For Everything"

Tried to get through........



But the bottom line is the whole thing

Left us nothing we could do.....



Somehow we're still fighting to

Make you listen to the truth.....
