Bill Miller My People Lyrics

My People Lyrics

My people were here long before the others cast their sails to the wind 



Before the tears of innocence like a hard rain would desend 



My people spread like eagle wings across the mountains and the plains 



Now the feathers have been broken but the eagle still remains 







My people heard the thundering as the iron horse crossed the land 



Its echos drowning out the cries of those who could not understand 



My people watched the buffalo dying in the sun 



While those tracks of steal lead to the sea, their will be done 







Now their blood flows through these rivers and then into our veins 



And their hearts are beating louder then all the years of shame 



And their blood flows through these rivers just like an endless rain 



And their hearts are beating louder then all the years of shame 







My people have fought for this land, here and across the sea 



Their shadows cast on sacred ground for all enturnity 



My people's pride still can soar and dance across this land 



You can see it in the eys of every woman, child, and man 







Because the blood flows through these rivers and then into our veins 



And their hearts are beating louder then all the years of shame 



And their blood flows through these rivers just like an endless rain 



And their hearts are beating louder then all the years of shame 







My people are the Navoho, my people are the Cherokee 



My people are Arapoho, my people are Menominee 



My people are, my people are...
