John Denver - Wooden Indian

I was a red man
I was proud
I was strong
You were the white man
and you stole away my home
Now I am a wooden Indian
painted dreams
inside my head
'times the way
you bring me down
make me wish
that I was dead
I was a red man
in my passing
made no sound
You were the white man
and you drove me
in the ground
Now I am a wooden Indian
standing silent in the rain
I swear by my grandfather's father
we're gonna rise again
I was a red man
I was proud
I was strong
You were the white man
and you stole away my home
Now I am a wooden Indian
standing silent in the rain
I swear by my grandfather's father
we're gonna rise again
I was a red man
I was proud
I was strong
You were the white man
and you stole away my home
Now I am a wooden Indian
painted dreams
inside my head
'times the way
you bring me down
make me wish
that I was dead
I was a red man
in my passing
made no sound
You were the white man
and you drove me
in the ground
Now I am a wooden Indian
standing silent in the rain
I swear by my grandfather's father
we're gonna rise again
I was a red man
I was proud
I was strong
You were the white man
and you stole away my home
Now I am a wooden Indian
standing silent in the rain
I swear by my grandfather's father
we're gonna rise again
