• Chief Seattle

She goes down the open road fading away
She tore a hole in my ragged soul
Stays there today
I hold in my hand a palmful of sand
It falls out on the beach
I look to the skies and I wonder why
You're so far out of reach
So far out of reach

Who am I to hate and who am I to love?
What all does this mean?
There's too many things that I want in this world
Don't mean a goddam thing

I remember the way that you held me
I remember like a dream
For desires are the cause of our unhappiness
Keep sipping on that pain
Keep sipping on that pain

Alas my love you've done me wrong
I could sing it to my grave
My songs're like prayers and I'm so tired of the tears
White men took what he gave

I remember what Chief Seattle said:
“How can you buy the land?
How can you purchase the air that you breathe?
And how'd you own the men?
How'd you own the men?”

You can take away his wife
You can take away his kids
Make Job look like a happy man
Take away his hopes and reduce him to his knees
Then you got him in your hands

Where is the love I was looking for?
Where is my victory?
Don't you know the man who goes to war
Comes home in defeat?
Comes home in defeat?

Where is the love I was looking for?
Where is my victory?
Don't you know the man who goes to war
Comes home in defeat?
Comes home in defeat?
