Drum Run

Miguel O’Brien ran with the Apaches
He ran and ran, and as his legs grew he glided over the desert earth
He learned how to hide and to hunt
He learned to leave no tracks and he learned to live on what he could keep down
And his name was now «Eyes Like The Sky»
His blue eyes showed his father’s race
He never wore the white painted face of the slave
He was valued for his stamina and distant vision
By the time he was 15, he had already killed Mexican troopers and feared no man
