Swan Lee (silas Lang) Lyrics

Swan Lee (silas Lang) lyrics

Swan Lee got up at the Running Foot pow-wow,

heading from the fire to his
waiting canoe.

Chattering Squaw untied the wigwam door,

the chief
blew smoke rings two by two! 



The land in silence stands... 



Swan Lee, his boat by the bank in the darkness,

loosened the
rope in the creek is entwined.

A feather from the wing of a wild young
eagle,

pointed to the land where his fortune he'd find 



The
land in silence stands... 



Swan Lee paddled on from the land of
his fathers,

his eyes scanned the undergrowth on either side.

From
the shore hung a hot, heavy, creature infested

tropic, Swan Lee had a bow
by his side 



The land in silence stands... 



Swan Lee
kept time, half on land, half on water,

Grizzly bear and raccoon his
fare.

He followed his ears to the great water fall,

Swan Lee knew
deep down that his squaw was there! 



The land in silence
stands.... 



Suddenly the rush of the mighty great thunder,

confronted Swan Lee as his song he sang,

In the dawn, with his squaw,
he was battling homewards

It was all written down by Long Silas Lang. 



The land in silence stands...

The land in silence stands...

The land in silence stands.
