Trail Of Broken Treaties - Little Steven

A change is forever — mine came today

Is what’s best in us worth trying to save?

I’ve raised my empty hand

Too many brothers and sisters

Gunned down by the government man

The land is my mother

She is worth dying for

I’ve walked the path of peace

But I ain’t running no more

Ain’t no love here

Love’s been sacrificed

Promises buried beneath

The trail of broken treaties

They come with numb senses

They come with hearts of stone

No knowledge no honor

Digging up my grandfather’s bones

They come to buy and steal

But they don’t understand

We’re only here to watch over

No one can own the land

They got their gold and their silver

Money won’t be enough

When they try to explain to their children

Why they’ve poisoned their blood

Ain’t no love here

Love’s been sacrificed

Promises buried beneath

The trail of broken treaties

I am lightning

Rainbow

Earth and night

The sky is crying

The night is falling

God shed his tears

I can see him so clearly

I’ve been here ten thousand years

As long as the four winds blow

Our spirits remain

The four winds will never

Blow away America’s shame
