Lyrics

[Intro] What are the open plans but land to roam and cultivate Reciprocate trade and share To give and to take To respect the Indian way? I will no longer cry For what has passed is gone Like a memory that floats in the air The song of an eagle feather Climbing in the wind On a hot summer day On a hot summer day [Verse 1] I've seen eyes they were crying sadly Fists ready for the blow Seen turbulent skies above me Buterflies in the snow Saw a war in a mask and a costume In a jingle of leaders to blame Seen power in the hands of the wrong man Who will always be just the same? [Verse 2] Seen boys cross illegal borders Risk a life to wash a dish Seen money disguised as the answer Is that your only wish? Saw a mother's smile so hopeful Seen a man who treasures life As a woman now able to choose From a strength that I need to survive [Chorus] Truth, nothing but the truth Watch you coming today? Watch you coming today? The things you say When you give and you take When you take and you take and you take The truth, nothing but the truth In the name of nature The choices we make Is it only me? Is it only you? Are we only living for today? [Post-Chorus] Maybe today will be my day Before it's over I'll make a change Maybe today will be my day Before it's over I'll have my say Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na [Verse 3] May the walls on the road be witnesses Of the needs of your ticking heart The words that you love be spoken At your table and when you part May your long line of family members Be proud of who you've become May your hands and your soul remind you Everyday that you are around [Verse 4] May the house that is always clean Be the home to the ones in need May the dirt on the soles of your boots Make a track of the good will you leave May the words that were used to divide Float away far away out of sight And the mountain we still must climb Be the one we will climb to unite [Chorus] Truth, nothing but the truth Watch you coming today? Watch you coming today? The things you say When you give and you take When you take and you take and you take The truth, nothing but the truth In the name of nature The choices we make Is it only me? Is it only you? Are we only living for today? [Post-Chorus] Maybe today will be my day Before it's over I'll make a change Maybe today will be my day Before it's over I'll have my say Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
