Blood - Brothers

I Hear Drum-Beats Across The Land… Can You Hear It? All Our Homes Are Handed Down by The Highest Spirit Long-Ago, The Native Peoples of The Land Knew… The Earth and Us – Go Hand in Hand I Hear Hoof-Beats Across The Land… Can You Hear It? Its Not The Buffalo or Antelope – Who Grew To Fear It Its Battles of Braves and Soldiers – Both Grim Reapers Can’t Forget… We ‘Are’ Our Brother’s Keeper… Blood – Brothers … We Are Blood-Bound To Love Blood – Brothers We Are Blood – Brothers Of All Sons and Daughters of Mankind The Great Spirit Binds… … Blood – Brothers I Heard Hate – Beat Down The Land… Did You Hear It? Pollution and Persecution… Its Time To Cure It End Our Journey On The Trail of Tears With Broken Arrows and Rivers – Running Clear I Hear Heartbeats Across The Land… Can You Hear It? If You Turn and Face The Wind… You Are Near It It Pounds Deeper Than The Skin, Or A Flood It Echoes To All … Its In Our Blood ! Blood – Brothers … We Are Blood – Bound To Love Blood – Brothers We Are Blood – Brothers Of All Sons and Daughters Of Mankind The Great Spirit Binds… … Blood – Brothers * * * * * The Eagle Flies On The Breath Of Life And So Do You May The Blue Sky And Your Clear Eye See Many More Moons Keepers Of The Earth… Guard This Turf And Each Other For Every Human Birth… Has Worth As A Blood – Brother For Those Killed and Blood Spilled The Ground Cries Soaks The Dust… And Curses Us When A Brother Dies… Blood – Brother …
