Broken Arrow

AlphabetLyrics.com


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.

This broken arrow needs heeding.
