Where in pastures sunflowers flourish and grow And herds of cattle can be heard deep and low Where once natives lived and hunted with pride There's still a prairie stretching far and wide Partly filled with suburbs by those in high places hiding behind masks and fake smiles on faces Upon this land our nearest star shines so bright And this forever night has changed with light And those natives once in possession of this land Some fought bravely with tomahawk in hand Many were slain like slaying wild beasts of field Cause they love the land and wouldn't yield Now all their survivors were quickly led faraway Traveling for many a full moon and a sad day As some became deathly ill, laid down and died Snowflakes continued to fall as many cried

Sunflowers in a Land of Sorrow
Where in pastures sunflowers flourish and grow And herds of cattle can be heard deep and low Where once natives lived and hunted with pride There's still a prairie stretching far and wide Partly filled with suburbs by those in high places hiding behind masks and fake smiles on faces Upon this land our nearest star shines so bright And this forever night has changed with light And those natives once in possession of this land Some fought bravely with tomahawk in hand Many were slain like slaying wild beasts of field Cause they love the land and wouldn't yield Now all their survivors were quickly led faraway Traveling for many a full moon and a sad day As some became deathly ill, laid down and died Snowflakes continued to fall as many cried
