Remember That Thanksgiving Day

Remember that Thanksgiving Day
So many years ago
With the Pilgrims eating all that food
The natives taught them how to grow
The Pilgrims and the natives
Bonded in their brotherhood
Hard to tell which one was better
No doubt both of them were good
When the pilgrims got more settled
Found what the New World was about
They claimed the land to be their own
And chased the natives out
Forgot who it was that helped them
When Thanksgiving came to share
Enjoyed the feast among themselves
Not a single native there
We still celebrate Thanksgiving
As the Pilgrims in the day
With no natives in attendance
To share is a better way
When your Thanksgiving feast is over
And you've had more than your fill
Take what's left to those less fortunate
Today's natives, if you will
