They bashed me left and rightrnI continued with the fightrnThey tried to take me downrnFloundering round and roundrnBut still I felt no painrnBecause I would remainrnAs I saw that once againrnI'm the ghost dance. I'm the rainbow in the rainrnI'm the pearl within the sunrnI'm the one and only onernWho continues on and onrnThrough the painrnThrough the rainrnThrough the ghost dance. I can take it as I cryrnIn my pain in my sighsrnNot believing in their liesrnHealing others' cries I take it and I clear itrnI know that I don't fear itrnI will move it on and onrnUntil I know I'm donernUntil thenrnI sighrnAnd then I'm feelin' highrnOn the ghost dance. Everywhere I gornThe darkness so does followrnBut I'm strong and I'm lightrnAnd I'm keeping up the fightrnI will fight it on and onrnUntil the day I'm donernI fight them with my lightrnI fight them with my sightrnI fight them with my lovernOf the ghost dance. I'm whiternAnd I'm redrnI'm rainbow brotherhoodrnI'm the sunrnI'm the skyrnI'm the pearlrnWithin their criesrnI'm the rainbowrnAnd the sunrnAnd I'm the one and only onernWho can save this world of woernThrough the ghost dance. Fight them with your lovernFight them with your sightrnBe the one who heals itrnThrough the ghost dance I am phoenix risingrnI hear the nation's cryingrnI hear the pain between themrnAnd I am right there with themrnIn their painrnIn their sorrowrnI bring a bright tomorrowrnListen to my plearnWe can heal wounded kneernWe are rainbowsrnWe are strongrnAnd still we carry onrnThrough the ghost dance. We shall live againrnWe shall live againrnWe shall rise againrnWe shall rise againrnDon't give up all hopernI am herernWe are herernWe shall rise againrnLike the phoenix in the sunrnLike the rainbows in the rainrnLike the love and the peacernIn the ghost dance. Pray for all your womenrnPray for all your menrnPray for all your childrenrnTo be free againrnPray for all the tribesrnPray we all be freernPray for justice donernOut of wounded knee Pray for all our brothersrnPray for endless peacernPray there be no warrnPray for only peace Pray that we can do itrnPray that we stay strongrnPray we be the pearlsrnSeeing right from wrongrnPray for all the worldrnPray for all to seernPray for only lightrnPray for us to be Hey a ho a hey rnPray for a new dayrnWhen all unite as onernAnd all on earth are freernAnd rainbow lights I seernAs the wind it carries mernThrough the ghost dance. Never lose all hopernNever say you're donernNever say it's overrnKnow that we are one Know that we can do itrnThough the world's so darkrnWe can be true spiritrnGlowing in the darkrnWe can be the rainbows rnWe can be the sparksrnOf the ghost dance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTY2pmKguDgrn
