Great River Road

I was born where the rivers run Native blood runs through my veins I was born where the eagles come Waiting till the winter fades I was born an endangered son I was spared by a mother's dream I was saved by the power of love I was snatched from the fire of greed Great river road where justice rolled Let it roll, let it roll down Great river road where healing flowed Let it flow, let it flow now I was born to an orphaned son I was seed from a broken life I was just like the other ones Waiting on the other side I was born because freedom won Mother sent me down the stream I was saved by the power of love I was snatched from the fire of greed
