Brave these things that your culture may survive.
A connection to land they could not understand so they came to remove them.
And their parents would cry and be left asking why but the soldiers ignored them.
Then they took them away from the place they belonged to and removed any trace of their faith and their culture.

Any trace of the place they belong to...
Memories from children of those who came before were stolen away forever
by soldiers that came to take them away to their boarding school nightmare.

They fell from the sky
To this land where they died
And the spirts moved through them
Till their language was gone along with their songs
Seemed God no longer knew them
Would a native race find a place in the future?
Would a painted face hide the pain of no culture?

Any trace of the place they belong to...
Memories from children of those who came before were stolen away forever
by soldiers that came to take them away to their boarding school nightmare.

We set the controls of our souls and head out for the sun
The day is long right now but soon winter will come
What's 30 miles from death could be a million miles from home
We can die among the trees,or live here all alone.
Memories

Any trace of the place they belong to...
Memories from children of those who came before were stolen away forever
by soldiers that came to take them away to their boarding school nightmare.

Brave these things that your culture may survive
