We survived the Trail Of Tears
never forgotten about Wounded Knee
we saw to it that Custer would make his last stand
and mourned for the Sand Creek massacre
with Geronimo we would keep riding on
to save what should of never been gone

For over five hundred years
we would fight to be free
and our blood would spill on this land
we saw respect for our Mother Earth
and did what we could to protect her
with our Spirit Guides we became one with the animal
this was the way with all of our people

Our religion was strong with the Great Spirit
but White Man tried to teach us how to forget
and corrupted our children at birth
teaching them to forget the ways of our culture
only to make their eye's blind not to see
that this was our way taught to be
that should of never been gone

I can't see stars that use to shine
and the moon just isn't the same
we don't ride along the Milkyway
Heaven only seemed to fade away
now that you push the sky away

The rain it won't seem to fall
and I can't see the yellow of the sun
since you left and never call
I waste the hours lost in time
now that you are gone
I just push the sky away

I don't hear the whisper of my name
in the echoes of the wind
where in the fields we use to play
there are no flowers to send
now that you push the sky away

I have no dreams to make anymore
now I only lay there and pretend
that you'll be coming back again someday
to what was there once before
as you push the sky away

I know I am far from perfect
nor do I claim myself to be
just like you I have made my mistakes
but I have learned along the way
that is just the way it is
and I can only be me

I have saw what it takes
to live and to be only human
and sometimes this road can been long
at times things here won't come easy
but I still hold my head high
I will keep myself strong
and know that it won't remain like this

No matter how much I fall still I'll try
and make the best of what I can
all the past I can't change so I'll have no regret
and I have learned to treat this life with respect
because it is the only one I will get

Blessed is my day
for miracles that come my way
Blessed is my heart
for a love that will never part
Blessed is my soul
for faith I have and never let go
Blessed are those around me
who have the love inside to see
with the kindness they show
Blessed are my dreams I keep
that lights the vision's along my way
Blessed is the night's sleep
where I hold my head down to pray
Blessed is the world I live
for a love Creator will give

May we walk in
love, understanding, and kindness
forever within dreams
we share together
through Great Spirit..

My tomorrow would not matter
if you were gone
and all of my yesterday
would be only another memory
of what I would not have today
if our love we have went astray

My dreams would only just be
a sadness of my reality
that would be lost in forever
if I could not make you stay
there would be no other place
that my heart would belong
if you were to just walk away

My love for you would never die
if I never saw the beauty
you shined down on me with grace
my nights would be left empty
and my days cold and long
if you were only to just walk by

My eyes would have tears to cry
filled with only days of lonely
if you were no longer around
here by my side longing for me
I would have no where left to go
no love in me left to show
and nothing in me to be found
if you were to say goodbye

An Angel whispered in my ear
through the twilight sky falling
her sweet calm song I could hear
as in my dreams she kept calling
in a Heaven that I could see

Her lips soft like a summer breeze
with her kiss that brought me to my knees
my heart burned in her flame
as an Angel whispered my name

Her touch warm upon my skin
as she held me close to her then
I could feel her from deep within
through my soul she lit a fire
that sparked my loves desire
as an Angel whispered and drew me near

With every breath of her passion
all I needed was an Angels compassion
that would bring me alive again
and in the shadows of the trees
with her was a loves satisfaction
where an Angel whispered waiting for me
