roots

[Verse 1]
I walked this ground long before you came
Danced all night, around a fire for the rain
Sang with wolves when the moon is shinin’ 
Hunted these plains with buffaloes runnin’

[Verse 2]
Then you came here with thunder and steel
Talkin’ ‘bout your God and a cross to kneel
You built your towns where my rivers flow
You plague my land, left me nothin’ to grow

[Chorus]
I’m the flame in the night, the roar in the storm
The ghost of this land, forever reborn
You can try to erase what you don’t understand
But I’ll always be here, walkin’ over this land

[Verse 3]
You drew your lines, then called it your land
Our spirits don’t bow to your lawman’s hand
We fought and we bled, for our story to be told
The heart of my people, worth more than gold

[Chorus]
I’m the flame in the night, the roar in the storm
The ghost of this land, forever reborn
You can try to erase what you don’t understand
But I’ll always be here, walkin’ over this land

[Verse 4]
I walked this ground long before you came,
Still hear the drums when the night is callin’
And though you tried hard to change my name
My children will remember that I ain’t fallin’

[Chorus]
I’m the flame in the night, the roar in the storm
The ghost of this land, forever reborn
You can try to erase what you don’t understand
But I’ll always be here, walkin’ over this land

I’ll always be here, walkin’ over this land…
