Cheyenne Anthem

From the mountains to the sun Life has only just begun We wed this land and pledged our souls to meet its end Life has only just begun Here my people roam the earth In the kingdom of our birth Where the dust of all our horses hides the sun We are mighty on the earth, on the earth You have come to move me, take me from my ancient home Land of my fathers, I can't leave you now We will share it with you, no man owns this earth we're on Now the wheels are rolling, hear the howling winds of war It's my destiny to fight and die But is there no solution? Can we find no other way? Lord let me stay Under the endless sky and the earth below Here I was born to live, and I will never go, oh no But we cannot endure like the earth and the mountains Life is not ours to keep, for a new sun is rising Soon these days shall pass away For our freedom we must pay All our words and deeds are carried on the wind In the ground our bodies lay Here we'll stay --- Cheyenne Anthem - Kansas
