Wounded Knee Lyrics

I have heard so many stories
about the natives fight
there's a hole in my heart
I can't understand
is this for real?
they only stood up for their rights
they only stood up for their rights
o my, my, my

many rites of mother nature
and ghosts about to dance
they believed in the sun
the moon and the rain
but something changed
and it was tough to break out
from this hell

the spirits calling
the sky is falling at wounded knee
shame, shame
the gods are crying
the world was dying at wounded knee
pain, pain (pain)

now look what you have done
so many tried to run
kids and women dead and butchered
so I cry for you america
with a history so black
and what is done is always done
I cry for you

this was all a part of the ghost dance war
of' course you had to fight
and the white man came to steal your land
shame, shame
at wounded knee
at wounded knee
pain, pain, pain
