I heard Loc Tup Together sing it in the Tap and Spile on Saturday night in an excellent singaround. I know the chorus goes something like: Where is your horse and where is your pony? Where are all your friends? Is it ................. When this journey ends. Help! Alio |

07 May 02 - 04:13 PM (#706175) Subject: DTADD: Indian Man (Rosemary Woods) From: GUEST,Philippa INDIAN MAN (Rosemary Woods) Indian man in a white man's train I'm a stranger in your land Yet you seem to be a little bit like me As you sit with your head in your hand And the face I see speaks clear to me The language of the passing years, Of the countless springs and winters, Of the endless joys and tears. [chorus] And where is your horse and where is your pony, And where are all your friends? Are you waiting to see them, just like me, When this journey ends? Indian man in a white man's world It must be hard to live; We put you into corners where you could not breathe Then expected you to forgive. And you sit next to me on this train And your silence speaks to me, Enclosed in a frame of iron, How can a bird be free? Indian Man, your simple ways Have taught my soul to search For the many trails that you wandered down When you lived at peace with the earth. Now some of us think it strange today Just to live the way you do, Respecting each and everything, But mostly me and you. Indian Man, there'll come a time We'll give you back your land, When we've stripped it of all its beauty And we've taken about all that we can. Oh, Indian Man, it'll be too late; With sore eyes we'll look back and see That the old ways were the best ways For nature, for you, for me. |
