Am C G F
And the old hearts, they are calling from the shadows.

Telling us we must not go,

Oh but we cannot fight, the power of the gun,
G F G
To take away our land, they take it from our sons, swear it on my hands.

It's not gone forever.

Taking back our land, take it for our sons, swear it on my hands.
Chorus:
C G
We will return to run here like the wolf,
F G
And see the hunter's moon and watch our river flow.

We will return to touch the open sky,
F G
And see the eagle fly and feel the morning rain.
