Original Hero by Linda V

Dusty prairie open wide

From the land stand side by side

Trust Mother Earth and  treat her well

Reap and sow as time would tell

Came a force that took apart

All you built and broke your heart

Ripped the child from the mother

Couldn’t save or help your brother

While they tried to fix and save

All they did was just enslave

To your knees they made you fall

They ignored your anguished call

Still you danced with colors bright

Will not let them win this fight

Culture strong and drum beat loud

Voices rise above the clouds

Cannot erase the history

But still can come your victory

Use the pain to keep you strong

Plant your feet where you belong
