I've worked long and I've worked hard
From the sweat of my brow to the glory of heart
I've heard people cry out sweet mercy
Take the pain from mine eyes and the guilt from my face

Walk softly Indian man
Unnoticed Indian man
Forgotten Indian man
Rich dirt turns to sand in the life of this?

He disappeared in the dark of night
But still he lerks in the shadows
I've seen him dance in the firelight
And fly away like an Eagle

So sing your praises, song them loud as you dare
In the celebration of a stolen heir
I have no medicine for you
Your past won't last and your future is doomed

So walk softly Indian man
Unnoticed Indian man
Forgotten Indian man
Rich dirt turns to sand in the life of this?

He disappeared in the dark of night
And still he lerks in the shadows
I've seen him dance in the firelight
Then fly away like an Eagle
Rich dirt turns to sand in the life of this.
