Leonard

Families and tribes and clans, they’re living
In balance with our relations on the land
Can we really understand?
Then some centuries ago, came the strangers
Foreign invaders on their sacred land
Began taking all they can
Do you know where is this land?
This is our homeland!
Native people killed to steal the land
What do you think of that plan?
Soldiers told Crazy Horse to talk to soldier chief
They said to fear no harm, but he saw prison bars
Then he knew of their plan. So he took out his knife
Started to fight. He was stabbed from behind
Crazy Horse only lived thirty years. They killed him with
Their lies
And then in 1975, government attack Pine Ridge
Two FBI die, they blame Peltier
Leonard Peltier is framed
Told lies to send Leonard to jail
They gagged him
For defending life of Mother Earth
Leonard Peltier is jailed
Where is wrong in our love of the earth
Harmony with all Our Relatives
Teach respect to children for all life
What they see destruction of our lives, religion
What they see destruction of our land, way of life
No respect. What to think
Political prisoner on his own land
Let’s free him. Free the native people from these chains
Stop the war here going on
We’re not talking about South Africa
We’re talking about North Dakotav
