spirit
Singer: willie nelson
white eagle crossed the big horn river
his pony's piled with furs
snow flower waited with the women of the tribe. too many moons he'd been gone from her. as the sunset led him homeward
he saw clouds of smoke above the trees. he cut his ponies loose
and rode just like the wind. he could smell the white man on the breeze. through the dust he say the ashes
his family and home. sole survivor of the people
whose spirit he must carry on alone. he rides
the horizon. a silhouette painted on the moon-lit-sky. and he cry's for the ones he loves. with an anger in his blood
a pain inside his heart
and a spirit -
that never dies. white eagle watched the fall of custer
he died a hundred times at wounded knee. walked with his homeless brothers
down the trail of tears
on his path - through history. and through the years.he sees the ashes
his family and home. sole survivor of the people
who's spirit he must carry on alone.
