lyrics

Buried in the Sky

Upon the beauty we did walk
And of its glory we spoke our talk
But then they came their tongues a fork
And by their words we were caught

We touch the earth, she is the Mother
We are Her birth, we touch the earth
We are Her after birth, cut the cord
We are absorbed

Great Spirit how could we understand
Such annihilation could be planned
We desired only to embrace the land
Mother, Farther we no longer stand

We touch the earth, she is the Mother
We are Her birth, we touch the earth
We are Her after birth, cut the cord
We are absorbed

Oh the mystery and wonder of rolling thunder
But they came with their religion of greed and plunder

I want to die in my own land
Where human beings are buried in the sky
Thank you for my victory and my defeat
Thank you for y vision and my blindness
You have decided we will walk a road to nowhere
Walk a road to nowhere
The grass will not grow
The wind does not blow
The sky is not blue and the great nation was through

Buried in the sky
We are absorbed
