CREEK MARY' S BLOOD


Creek Mary’s Blood

Soon I will be here no more
You’ll hear my tale
Through my blood
Through my people
And the eagle’s cry
The bear within will never
Lay to rest

Wandering on Horizon Road
Following the trail of tears

White man came saw the blessed land
We care, you took
You fought, we lost
Not the war but an unfair fight
Sceneries painted beautiful in blood

Wandering on Horizon Road
Following the trail of tears
Once we were hear
Where we have lived since
The world began
Since time itself gave us
This land

Our souls will join again
The wild
Our home in peace ‘n war ‘n dead

Wandering on Horizon Road
Following the trail of tears
Once we were hear
Where we have lived since
The world began
Since time itself gave us
This land
“I still dream every night
Of them wolves, them mustangs,
Those endless prairies
The restless winds over mountaintops
The unspoilt frontier of my kith ‘n kin
The hallowed land of the
Great Spirit
I still believe
In every night
In every day
I am like the caribou
And you like the wolves that
Make me stronger

We never owed you anything
Our only debt is one life
For our Mother

It was a good day to chant
This song
For Her
Our spirit was here long
Before you
Long before us
And long will it be after you
Pride brings you to your end.


By Creeks…
