I AM NATIVE AMERICAN
TAKE AWAY MY LIFE
TAKE AWAY MY LAND
AND STILL SO TALL WILL I STAND


YOU CANNOT DEFEAT MY SPIRIT
IT BLOWS JUST LIKE THE WIND
SO DON'T EVEN TRY TO TAME IT
OR IT WILL RESULT IN YOUR OWN END


THE WHITE MAN CAME AND TRIED TO MAKE US WEAK
YET THEY CANNOT TAKE AWAY OUR SPEECH
OR OUR TRADITIONS AND CULTURE


SO WEAR YOUR FEATHERS AND LEATHER WITH PRIDE
TO LET EVERYONE KNOW YOU ARE PROUD TO BE ALIVE
AND YOU ARE ALSO PROUD TO BE INDIAN

amazing grace in cherokee give a listen
