Indigenous Songwriting at the Lenape Indian Village
LYRICS
I guess we’ve gotta go
Against the river’s flow
The settlers have settled on a settlement
Chorus
By settlement I mean they’re mean
From the genocide we must hide
Hide in Her spirit’s hide
Chorus
They’ll cut us down you know
Bullet versus bow
What are they thinkin’ over the color of skin?
Chorus
Since we wouldn’t behave
As their slave
Over our land… their rag… their flag
Chorus
