CHANGE OF THE INDIAN

The smoke rises to the sky from the camp fire

As we listen to our heart looking for a new desire

There was the complaining from the old chief

How they didn’t like the sound of the new beat

They feel it has taken away the meaning of the old ways

And how there fathers would be turning in their graves

He tells us that it is important not to forget the past

But then we must learn to adapt if we are to last

Our name and tribe will always known through the wind

And the great spirit will be with us till the end

Our tepees will be change to a home on the hill

And there will be no buffalo for us to kill

So as we watch the new moon while it begins to set

May our spirits be united and our souls be at rest
