]You think that you know us
But you dont know
You think you own us
But you dont own
You think you beat us
But we already won
For your people
we are not
You not know us
or the road
For we see the ride,
on we go
You not own us,
here we stop
For drum beat rings
Is our hearts
that you hear sing
You taken our spirit
try to capture all our
souls,
But you dont know
All we know
Now the walk begins
Coming back to us
all the lands
for this why
we will
stand
We not stop, we sing our
prayers
our voices many
seasons long
We shall walk again,
Our feet's move in
rhythm of spirits
ghost dance songs
Lift hearts up for in the
Great One, we give the
trust
Warriors before us
Warriors standing now
Warriors of courage
Showing us how
Warriors we bring
back, for day
is not done,
you think its over,
you think you won,
Your eyes are clouded
eagles eyes are clear
You think we gone,
Our day is near,
we not go away,
natives of all ,
we warriors
we pray and
then we stay,
You dont know
the lives we
have
We live on
after white
man gone,
We proud,
we walk
we take the ride
We come back
we see inside
We come back
just as one
and then you
see,
just how we
won,
Ride has begun.

`The poem goes along with a Native story.
I guess you just have to have heard the story.
That is all its referring to.

I shall reply to straighteyes, I have written the words, I am back under new name of Cherokeegirl58,
To all, My Grandfather was wise elder and of Native Blood, He once said to me, Child, you may be of Indian blood but not of Indian spirit, it is the spirit that carrys us forth as a nation on the Red Road, in the end, not our blood. this poem is about unity of Natives in spirit to step forward and walk with pride so that we may carry the dreams of our grandfathers and those who shed blood before in our steps, our dance, our hearts, to take what was and is ours back to us, ALL nations together
Peace to you my sisters and brothers
