This broken arrow
Needs heeding
When great white fathers
Your mistress is inequality
Rash and reckless won't get us to
Where we want to be
Are we emancipators or oppressors
Of lady liberty?
Have we lost her?
Have we lost her?
Have we lost her?
This broken arrow
Needs heeding
When great white fathers
Our poisoned rivers feed your greed
Rash and reckless won't get us to
Where we want to be
Ancient songlines are singing
To wake lady liberty
She may seem weak
We may be battle-weary
Still those songlines sing
From our great lakes
To our sacred badlands
Over sweet prairies
No, I'm not letting go
I won't be silenced or frozen out
By those who must account
In our senate and in the house
We the people
Dear judges will be watching
Over you
Over you
Have we lost her?
Have we lost her?
Have we lost her?
This broken arrow
Needs heeding
