Apache Warriors

Deep in the woods I can hear a twig snap A bird goes into flight that was sitting on a limb beside me And it just so happens that right now we are at war with another tribe But I must remember the cries of the mothers and children Yes I heard them, with a determined look as I left the village this morning It is in mourning for the lost of our Cheif who died in starvation He would not eat because our village is hungry He had the greatest Heart For he gave his food to the children But I cant resist it I put my warpaint on I dip my finger in it And run it under my eye I no longer sit and listen For an Apache Warrior is now on the War path After I kill my enemy I will take his horse and feed the hungry I send out my thanks to The Great Spirit for this day I'm so happy because a horse will feed more than a deer Great Spirit i love you my Cheif is honored So I set aside my bow, and instantly in my hand is my Tomahawk I love to stalk 'em before I chop 'em up
