Tried to take away your dignity

Tried to take away your pride

Now you’re dancing with the spirits

Beneath a watercolor sky

How far

Did you walk that day

How many

Did you lose along the way

The sky’s gone grey

With winter’s frost

Break the chains

At all cost

When the crows come

We’ll load them down with stones

Beneath the willow trees

There’s nothing left but bones

Broken boats

Of clay and mud

The current strong

And red with blood

 How far

Did you walk that day

How many

Did you lose along the way

The night shakes and howls

The winds blow cold

The stars twist and turn

Shadows grow bold

When the crows come

We’ll beat them down with fists

Beneath the willow trees

Lost within the mists

Tribal lands

Ancestors’ dreams

Trail of tears

And dark red stains

How far

Did you walk that day

How many

Did you lose along the way
