Soon i will be here no more
you'll hear my tale
through my blood
through my people
and the eagle's cry
the bear within will never
lay to rest

wandering on the horizon road
following the trail of tears

white man came
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 againthe 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
green 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"
