LIFE BEFORE
SINCE THE TIME THAT TIME BEGAN
NOT ASKING FOR MORE THAN FAMILY AND FRIENDS
IT GAVE US ALL WE NEDDED TOO LIVE
THE LAND WE HUNTED WITH ARROWS AND BOWS
TOOK ONLY FRON THE BUFFALO
BUT SOON THAT WAS ALL TO CHANGE
IRON HORSE CAME AND MADE ITS TRAIL
RIFLES BLASTING FROM HEAD TO TAIL
THEY TOOK THE HIDES AND LEFT THEM LAY
WITH NOTHING MORE THAN HELL TO PAY
CHORUS
THE ELDERS SPOKE OF WHEN THE GREAT CHEIFS WOULD RISE AGAIN
AND OUR NATION WOULD BE AS BEFORE
AND LIVE THE LIVES WE LIVED BEFORE
WHITE EYE CAME AND SPOKE HIS WORD
WE WERE NEVER MORE TO BE HEARD
THEY MOVED US SOUTH TO CLEAR THE LAND
FOR THE WESTERN EXSPANTION
CHORUS
