lyrics

Nothing lives long only the earth and the mountains
Nothing lives long only the earth and the mountains
The people, the people move them along
Those people, those people they don’t belong

The Earth is our mother, the sky it is our father
The Earth is our mother, the sky it is our father
There’s gold in them hills let the wagons come on
The treaties, the treaties, sign another one

We pray for the buffalo for they give us life
We pray for the buffalo for they give us life
Roam over the plains shoot to kill
If I see another one I know I will

We’ll be here till the black snake dies Mini Wiconi
We’ll be here till the black snake dies Mini Wiconi
There’s a void in our hearts and we don’t know it
Push on boys, push on use those rubber bullets

These lands are our home since time began
These lands are our home since time began
In our hands are shards of broken promises
In our lands the stolen names of heritage

Nothing lives long
Nothing
Nothing lives long only the earth and the mountains
Nothing lives long only the earth and the mountains
