I've been thinking about my childhood

And what your books they taught me

If things don't work out like they ought to

It wouldn't matter much to me



Yes, Look at the land

And see all the destruction

In a land that once was mine

Well, do you go forward?

I don't think so

We'll have it all back in due time



My heart belongs in an Indian world

A place that I can call my home

I've been livin' in a white man's world

Taught nothing of my own



We used to soar high as the eagles

Far as we could fly

Then you came along lookin' for your targets

Now the eagles they have died



You killed our fathers

Raped our mothers

Killed our sons and daughters too

We break your laws

We don't mean to

We can't help but what we are



My heart belongs in an Indian world

A place that I can call my home

I've been livin' in a white man's world

Taught nothing
