Hey heya hey
Hey heya heya
Hey heya heya hooo
Voices in the smoke
Ancient embers blue
Ooo
Ooo
Ooo
Hey
Hey
Old man draws in the dust
Circle line broken sun
Says grandson open your eyes
Dreams are already begun
I see rivers made of stone
Iron horses never rest
Thunder rolling on and on
Across your mother's chest
Rivers of stone that cut the land
Rolling forever where the buffalo ran
We had a home we had a name
Wind took the story fire took the flame
But remember this
When the world moves on
The song of the people is never gone
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey
Tents pulled up by the roofs
Trails of tears in the sand
Names traded in for numbers
Lines carved across the land
I saw children talk to hide
Old words locked in their throat
But a drum still beats inside
Each forgotten old
Rivers of stone they cut the land
Rolling forever where the buffalo ran
We had a home we had a name
Wind took the story fire took the flame
But remember
When the world moves on
The song of the people is never gone
Hey hey stamp your feet on the ground
Hey hey call the others names out loud
Clap your hands hey
Shake the dust hey
Turn that sorrow into trust
Flute will carry what we know
Over iron over stone rivers of stone
They cut the land back
