We Have Won

You have sent us to this place
 Where we must live in a small place
 You told us that the treaties say
 To live in peace we must change our ways
 And we will know happier days
But all you have given us I see
Is sickness, death and misery
You took our lands our hopes our pride
With the promise you were on our side
But we know now of you ways
 And the lies you told us back in those days
 We cannot change what has been done
 But in the end it is we who have won
