about

BURY MY HEART AT WOUNDED KNEE My small, rural town was, and is still being, over-run by big corporate
developers. I am reminded of the fight that Native Americans have had to fight and still are fighting. It is the same
fight over and over. One day I hope a future generation can stop them. Mine has failed.

lyrics

Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee

I have walked the white man's highway. I have seen his urban sprawl.
Take another piece of heaven, just to build a shopping mall.

Chorus:
Leave my bones up on the mountain. Send my spirit out to sea.
Let my people know my journey and bury my heart at Wounded Knee.

I have seen great mountains crumble to the shovels filled with coal.
Polluted rivers, stagnant waters, as we sell away our soul.

Repeat chorus:

Let us always fight the good fight even when our heroes fall.
Teach the children they are warriors and let them stand when justice calls

repeat chorus:
