Uh, uh, uh
Uh, uh, uh
I am the child of in the wilds of
I am thunder rolling down the mountain
I was born a chief son.
The were my people
Looking Glass was my friend
And we lived our lives in the Western Hills
Till the white man came
Oh , closing in!
From where the sun now stands
I will find no more forever
And we will all remain together
From where the sun now stands
Ten thousand years the land was ours
If any can the land
We believe no trees, no wind, no are the property of men
General Howard he came to find this
His government will not agree
So the land was claimed by the white men
And the people had to flee
The people had to flee.
From where the sun now stands
I will find no more forever
And we will all remain together
From where the sun now stands
Mountains just miles from free man's hand
We sold our homes, sold our bones, surrendered our land
What is the price for freedom, what is the pain and grief?
And what do we surrender, now we live our lives in peace
Lives our lives in peace!
From where the sun now stands
I will find no more forever
And we will all remain together
From where the sun now stands
