Indian Story
Waterdeep

Back a long long time ago

There was an old man his story he told

He was the chief of a native tribe and he

Spoke of beginnings and endings and wars and lies

He said I tell my tale from a different view

Of the day we saw wagons and suddenly knew

Our lives would never be the same but

No nightmare compared to what they brought our way


White man after white man came over the hills that protected our lives

They went on to steal our freedom when their own they couldn't find.


They soon took over the west and the east

Always making promises they couldn't keep

My baby died from diseases they brought

And all the while we hardly fought

To tired to fight we travelled all day

Trying to escape the death that they made

Buffalo's gone, land's divided by train

They don't want us here but they won't let us get away


You should see my mother's tears

too proud to well up in her eyes

You should hear the wind whisper its sad goodbyes


CHORUS

If you take the land

Please respect the land

This is our one last plea

Before we're forced to flee

And lead your white man's way

And to finish off these lonely lonely days

We'll warn you as we once were

Take only what you need and leave the land as you found it.


He went on to tell me never underestimate

The power of the sun and the moon

and the tide and fate

He said you white men don't understand

what it's truly like to live off the land

Too bad you've never tried it then you'd realize

it's not your land to have.


Everyone should get a chance

to hear the owls speak their wisdom at night

Everyone needs to witness coyotes

that fill you with fright.
