When the day is done I'm walking down the docks Side by side with old companions We sit down to watch the sunset Over dirty rocks We're sons of the ancient hunters We are born for Hunting game Endless pain There I want to stay No more fish in the stream The American Dream Has destroyed the land of Indians White man's money's ruling again But we stand up to them Talkin', smokin' Visions will lead us the way Goin' to Mountains high Eagles fly There I want to die I will rise and fall Bury my heart At Wounded Knee They have slain my father's body But his spirit is still alive He rides across a sacred country In freedom and eternal life I will join him at his fire Some day It's my favorite desire To hear the tale when he said I will rise and fall Bury my heart At Wounded Knee
