Wounded Knee - Lyrics - Walela

Walela is a Native American trio of singers. The group was founded in 1996 by sisters Rita Coolidge and Priscilla Coolidge, with Priscilla's daughter Laura Satterfield as the third member.

Bury my heart at Wounded Knee Where a baby's blood was A soldiers pay Bury my heart at Wounded Knee Let it lie with my brother's Til the judgement day My people were the earth And the earth was home When they stole their land They stole their bones Let my people, let my people pass Crossing over this Jordan is all we ask Take the eyes of the guns of peace away My people can't eat promises But they can pray Now my blood is flowing back to Tennessee And my soul is moving in and out of reach I'm dancing cause I carry my father's seed And I'm walking on this earth to set my people free Bury my heart at Wounded Knee
