Soon I will be here no more!
You'll hear the tale through my blood,
through my people and the eagle's cry
The bear within will never lay to rest.
Wandering on Horizon Road
Following the trail of tears
White man came and saw the blessed land.
We cared, you took, you fought, we lost
not the war but an unfair fight.
Sceneries painted beautiful in blood
Wandering on Horizon Road
Following the trail of tears.
Once we were here,
where we have lived since
the world began, since time
itself gave us this land.
Our souls will join again the wild
Our home in peace 'n war 'n death
Wandering on Horizon Road...
"I still dream every night
Of them wolves, them mustangs, those endless prairies
The restless winds over mountaintops
The unspoilt frontier of my kith n'kin
The hallowed land of the Great Spirit
I still believe
In every night
In every day
I am like the caribou
And you like the wolves that make me stronger
We never owed you anything
Our only debt is one life for our Mother
It was a good day to chant this song
For Her
Our spirit was here long before you
Long before us
And long will it be after your pride brings you to your end"
You'll hear the tale through my blood,
through my people and the eagle's cry
The bear within will never lay to rest.
Wandering on Horizon Road
Following the trail of tears
White man came and saw the blessed land.
We cared, you took, you fought, we lost
not the war but an unfair fight.
Sceneries painted beautiful in blood
Wandering on Horizon Road
Following the trail of tears.
Once we were here,
where we have lived since
the world began, since time
itself gave us this land.
Our souls will join again the wild
Our home in peace 'n war 'n death
Wandering on Horizon Road...
"I still dream every night
Of them wolves, them mustangs, those endless prairies
The restless winds over mountaintops
The unspoilt frontier of my kith n'kin
The hallowed land of the Great Spirit
I still believe
In every night
In every day
I am like the caribou
And you like the wolves that make me stronger
We never owed you anything
Our only debt is one life for our Mother
It was a good day to chant this song
For Her
Our spirit was here long before you
Long before us
And long will it be after your pride brings you to your end"
