SONG:Wooden Indian

This song was first released on the poems, prayers and promises album. it is the only album it has been released on.
I, i was a red man
i was proud, i was strong
you were the white man
and you stole away my home
Now i am a wooden indian
painted dreams inside my head
times a where you bring me down
and make you wish i was dead
Na na na
I, i was a red man
in my passing made no sound
you were the white man
and you drove me in the ground
Now i am a wooden indian
standing silent in the rain
swear with my grandfather's father
we're going to rise again
Na na na
I, i was a red man
i was proud, i was strong
you were the white man
and you stole away my home
Now i am a wooden indian
standing silent in the rain
swear with my grandfather's father
we're going to rise again
