Song For Standing Rock

They stood like a rock
In the fierce face of evil
By the riverside
Oh my, my

Mighty guns have been shot
Trying to bring down the eagle
By the riverside
Oh my, my

Protectors of life
Of the land and the waters
By the riverside
Oh my, my
From their depth heard the cry
Of their mothers and fathers
By the riverside
Oh my, my

All my life I’ve searched that rainbow
Searched that clear voice in my mind
Like those waters flowing through me
Singing life stay alive stay alive stay alive stay alive

They chased hell away
With the might of the eagle
By the riverside
Oh my, my
And paved a new path of hope for the people
By the riverside
Oh my, my
Give me wisdom
Give me power
To stand firmly for my child
Like a mother shields her baby
Singing life stay alive stay alive stay alive I’m alive

Many meadows have gone
And more rivers turn to waste
And our liberty is hanging on that thin thread of fate

In the light that can shine through the hearts of the people
If we shall decide
Oh my, my
There is life there I strength in the hearts of the people standing side by side oh my my
Yes I still believe in the hearts of the people by the riverside oh my my
