Why

Why are we treated so differently Are we not all equal and all free Why do you make us change our ways And forbid us to speak of our customs and the old ways You tell us we must learn to be civilized To be part of your nation and your tribe The acient ones cry out at what they see Their people forced to suffer and no longer free They fear we will forget out customs and the proud people we were They fear our history will soon be a blurr To all the nations hear their pleas Stay together always and let us stand united proud and free
