Lyrics

SPIRIT HORSES ~ CHIEF JOSEPH

I WAS BORN 38 WINTERS AGO
IN A LAND THAT COULD NEVER BE BOUGHT & SOLD
I HAVE SEEN THE BUFFALO DAYS
I CARRY ALL MY FATHER’S WAYS
AND I ASK YOU HOW DO YOU OWN THE LAND
BECAUSE MY PEOPLE DON’T UNDERSTAND
YOU CAN’T SELL WHAT YOU DON’T OWN
AND YOU DON’T CHANGE AN EAGLE TO A CROW
YOU DON’T PEN A BIRD UP IN A CAGE
AND YOU DON’T TRY TO CHANGE MY WAYS

SPIRIT HORSES GUIDE ME
WHERE THE APPALOOSA RUN FREE (2X)

GREAT SPIRIT YOU GAVE US THE WIND
AND THE FREEDOM TO FLY ON A 4 LEGGED FRIEND
10,000 YEARS THIS LAND I’VE ROAMED
IT’S THE ONLY PLACE I CALL MY HOME
IT TAKES FEW WORDS TO SPEAK THE TRUTH
I GAVE YOU MINE, NOW HOW ABOUT YOU
FROM WHERE THE SUN NOW STANDS HIGH
I WILL FIGHT NO MORE FOREVER I CRY

WAY-YA HEY-YA ► HEY-YA WEY-YA

I WAS BORN 38 WINTERS AGO
IN A LAND THAT COULD NEVER BE BOUGHT AND SOLD
MOTHER EARTH WILL CLAIM MY BONES
FOR ONE DAY IT WILL BE ME SHE OWNS

SPIRIT HORSES GUIDE ME
WHERE THE APPALOOSA RUN FREE (4X)

BRAVE & STRONG ANCESTORS, STILL HERE
WE’RE THE MIGHTY NEZ PERCE
