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 Words and music by John Denver
