swan lee (silas lang)

swan lee got up at the running foot pow-wow

heading from the fire to his waiting canoe. chattering squaw untied the wigwam door

the chief blew smoke rings two by two!

the land in silence stands. swan lee

his boat by the bank in the darkness

loosened the rope in the creek is entwined. a feather from the wing of a wild young eagle

pointed to the land where his fortune he'd find

the land in silence stands

swan lee paddled on from the land of his fathers

his eyes scanned the undergrowth on either side. from the shore hung a hot

heavy

creature infested

tropic

swan lee had a bow by his side

the land in silence stands

swan lee kept time

half on land

half on water

grizzly bear and raccoon his fare. he followed his ears to the great water fall

swan lee knew deep down that his squaw was there!

the land in silence stands. suddenly the rush of the mighty great thunder

confronted swan lee as his song he sang

in the dawn

with his squaw

he was battling homewards

it was all written down by long silas lang. the land in silence stands. the land in silence stands. the land in silence stands.
