Before You Came

I dreamed that I was riding in a south dakota field

And the sweet grass whispered to me as I rode

Oh, the sun it was at midday

It shown hot across my face

And our land lay still in grace

Yes, a crystal silent place

Before you came

Two of my closest brothers

They were riding by my side

And we watched a golden eagle

Flying circles in the sky

And we smiled as our eyes met

For our joy, we could not hide

Yes, we loved to hunt and ride

It was good to be alive

Before you came

Brother, take my hand and we will walk this magic land

Together

Sister, look on high and you will see

That storms are building in your skies

Woh, do you wonder why?

And when the sun was dying

We had reached the sacred hills

And the sky it caught on fire

And all the land was still

It was here all wrapped in blankets

In our younger days

That we fasted and we listened

Oh the night would bring us visions

Before you came

Brother, take my hand

For we must hold our father's land together

Sister, look around

And you will see the scars of battle on this ground

Woh, do you hear the sound?

I dreamed that I was riding in a south dakota field

And, the sweet grass whispered to me as I rode

Oh the sun it was at midday

It shown hot across my face

And our land lay still in grace

Is a crystal silent place

Before you came
