There was a time when we would not be broke
My people stood and fought when there was hope
The white man took the only things we had
He stripped of our pride and raped our land
Let my people live
No use trying to be brave
Over the mountains where the eagles soar
A sad reflection of what stood before
And as the life blood of our souls runs dry
All white men listen to the curse we cry
Let my people live
No use trying to be brave
Over the mountains where the eagles fly
The woman mourns for her child and cries to the sky
The mist is clearing and the cold wind blows
When the slaying stops god only knows
Let my people live
No use trying to be brave
My people stood and fought when there was hope
The white man took the only things we had
He stripped of our pride and raped our land
Let my people live
No use trying to be brave
Over the mountains where the eagles soar
A sad reflection of what stood before
And as the life blood of our souls runs dry
All white men listen to the curse we cry
Let my people live
No use trying to be brave
Over the mountains where the eagles fly
The woman mourns for her child and cries to the sky
The mist is clearing and the cold wind blows
When the slaying stops god only knows
Let my people live
No use trying to be brave
