HOOF BEATS THUNDERING IN THE WIND,
WITH INTENSNESS ON THE GROUND,
I CAN FEEL THEM COMING IN MY HEART,
MY SPIRIT WILL NOT BE BOUND...
THE MIGHTY AND POWERFUL SPIRIT,
SO BEAUTIFUL TO SEE,
WILL NO LONGER BE HERE WITH US,
IF WE DO NOT HELP THEM TO BE...
THEY ARE BEING DRIVEN OUT AND SLAUGHTERED,
WITHOUT CONSIENCE OR REGRET,
THEY NEED OUR HELP TO SURVIVE,
THEIR NEEDS MUST BE MET...
IT IS THEIR LAND THAT MAN HAS TAKEN,
AND FORCED THEM TO LEAVE,
MY SOUL ACHES WITH DISPARE,
MY SPIRT CAN NOT PERCIEVE...
THIS RESPECTED CREATURE,
OF OUR HEARTS AND SO WE PRAY,
WE NEED THEM TO CARRY US ON,
TO THE SPIRIT WORLD ONE DAY...
WITHOUT THEM WE WILL ALL BE LOST,
THIS IS THEIR RESPECTED HOME,
IF THIS UNJUSTICE IS TO REMAIN,
THE BUFFALO WILL NO LONGER ROAM...
SO BROTHERS AND SISTER I EMPLORE,
YOU ALL TO STAND AND UNITE,
TO HELP SAVE OUR BROTHER BUFFALO,
TO HELP HIM FIGHT HIS FIGHT...
GIVE HIM BACK HIS HOME,
THE PRAIRIES AND THE GREAT PLAINS,
IF WE LOSE THEM FOR GOOD,
OUR LIVES WILL NEVER BE THE SAME...
IT IS WITH HIS GREAT SPIRIT,
THAT ALL OF US WILL WALK,
THE TIME HAS COME TO FIGHT,
THERE IS NO MORE TIME FOR TALK.
WHERE WILL THE BUFFALO ROAM?
