White Man Stole This Land

from The Red Record by Fast Heart Mart

/

lyrics

driving down a long highway
in New Mexico
reservations all around me
how is it so
the white man stole this land
from the indians
to form a democracy

though my driving arm is burning
I have a farmer's tan
shirtless, my skin is reflecting
like grass under a stone
these motorhomes are giant
they're like a ship
on this road
drivers are old and retired

rest stopped under a shade tree
a bird is singing
though I wish that I could fly
he is dreaming
that his arms were not tied
behind his back in the form of wings
he wants to walk for the rest of his days
