I know this to be true
if we want to make it through
together as one we must stand
and united we will never fall
it's the beauty of it all
when we join together in hand
to face this reality that is real
we can never change what was in the past
but we can make a future last
and for those who don't like it
we can tell them to kiss our ***
though we'll remember and never forget
know that we are here still
and we have to look ahead
because our dreams are there instead
to stand for our Native pride
what we were born with inside
I can see a storm come to pass
on this holy sacred land
where our Ancestors bled
and so many thousands died
but though they may be gone
their Spirit's are strong and live on
because they fought for our Native pride
and that's something you can't ****
