Sitting Bull

Dancing in the rain
Shinning with every pain
Winning with all the stains
A man of the people remain

     The American soils vibrate
     With soldiers long gone but great
     With tones that liberate 
     With steps known to migrate 

The air thick with moisture and dust
The sun blazing hot, it cuts
The treaties and broken trusts
The tribal ties, warriors in silent gusts
