Ronny Skyland – The Nation lyrics
He awoke one morning, papaw took him hunting
As he did each year when the leaves were falling
That day was different, cause off in the distance
Was a strange new face never seen before
At once his instinct took control
Without one thought he raised his bow
Before he let it go papaw said
Don’t let that arrow fly

Spear fishin’ at the Big Bend
Huntin’ for the buffalo,
Living off our sacred land
Sneakin’ through the redwoods
Trapin’ with my bare hands
Bring a deer home for the tribe
Chippewa, Cocopah, Cherokee, Chickaloon
Chitimacha Tribe and the Coos
Seminole, Navajo, Aztec, Arapaho
Omaha, Zuni and the Sioux

I awoke this morning, to a blood red sky
Embers of our past burn in the morning fire
Today’s so different, everything has changed
What we now face is not the same
No longer can we close our eyes
To the Water, Earth and Airs demise
Great, Great Grandfather tell me why
You didn’t let your arrow fly?

Spear fishin’ at the Big Bend
Huntin’ for the buffalo,
Living off our sacred land
Sneakin’ through the redwoods
Trapin’ with my bare hands
Bring a deer home for the tribe
Chippewa, Cocopah, Cherokee, Chickaloon
Chitimacha Tribe and the Coos
Seminole, Navajo, Aztec, Arapaho
Omaha, Zuni and the Sioux
