history

Interpretation/Explanationgh

Come on Cheyenne We shall live again (we shall live again) We shall live again (we shall live again) Come on Arapaho Come on Cherokee Come on Paiute Come on Sioux We shall live again (we shall live again) You used to do the Ghost Dance Used to do the Ghost Dance But we don't sing them kinda songs no more

My sister aboveBut she has red paint She died at Wounded Knee Like a Latter-day Saint You got the big drum in the distance The blackbird's in the sky That's a sound that you hear When the buffalo cry You don't stand a chance against my prayers You don't stand a chance against my love They outlawed the Ghost Dance They outlawed the Ghost Dance But we shall live again, we shall live again We shall live again Crazy Horse was a mystic (yeah) He knew the secret of the trance And Sitting Bull, the great apostle Of the Ghost Dance Come on Comanche Come on Blackfoot Come on Shoshone

Crow's brought the message To the children of the sun For the return of the buffalo And for a better day to come You can kill my body You can damn my soul For not believing in your God And some world down below You don't stand a chance against my prayers You don't stand a chance against my love They outlawed the Ghost Dance They outlawed the Ghost Dance But we shall live again, we shall live again
