Little Steven - Trail of Broken Treaties lyrics

A change is forever - mine came today Is what's best in us worth trying to save? I've raised my empty hand Too many brothers and sisters Gunned down by the government man The land is my mother She is worth dying for I've walked the path of peace But I ain't running no more Ain't no love here Love's been sacrificed Promises buried beneath The trail of broken treaties They come with numb senses They come with hearts of stone No knowledge no honor Digging up my grandfather's bones They come to buy and steal But they don't understand We're only here to watch over No one can own the land They got their gold and their silver Money won't be enough When they try to explain to their children Why they've poisoned their blood Ain't no love here Love's been sacrificed Promises buried beneath The trail of broken treaties I am lightning Rainbow Earth and night The sky is crying The night is falling God shed his tears I can see him so clearly I've been here ten thousand years As long as the four winds blow Our spirits remain The four winds will never Blow away America's shame
