Wooden Indian

John Denver

Compositor: John Denver

I, 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 a where you bring me down
And make you wish I was dead

Na na na

I, 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
Swear with my grandfather's father
We're going to rise again

Na na na

I, 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
Swear with my grandfather's father
We're going to rise again
