Spirit Of The Red road........ They lived in peace and harmony with earth and all of life, Its the red road that they walk upon for its the only road thats right, Broken homes, lives and families, For something called progress, You took their peace away from them and now look at this mess, The sorrow still lingers for whats been done, So many voices still unheard, But theres one big thing that your forgot, So Ill speak my families words, You have tried and failed to break us, But our spirit still fights on, Keep trying but youll never take us, Keep telling yourself you werent wrong, It wasnt genocide you were trying, Oh heck no, not at all, You werent trying to destroy us, or try to make us fall, I hope that you sleep well at night, For all the wrongs been done, And in case you hadnt noticed were still here and you havent won, Take from us what you will, But know this to be true, Our spirits will not surrender, Nor ever bow down to you, Our story will continue, Until the end of days, And our strength only increases, Something you cannot take away, Our people have turned the tables, Shared our word and faith anew, Going forth in leaps and bounds for we know what we can do, You couldnt take our identity with your cruelty in the past, Nor could you make the separation of the people last, For now we all stand together, Strong and wise and free, And we will tell you to go ahead and do your worst, But you wont get the best of me.
