Go, bury my heart at Wounded Knee

Go, bury my heart and set her free

Go, bury my heart, so the wolves

And lions won`t tear apart

Go, set her rree

Walking in the wind and the driving rain

In my heart is an aching pain

Please gather my soul in the autumn leaves

Go, wrap my soul in the golden leaves

Go, cover my soul, keep her safe

From the wind and the snow

Don't let her freeze

Waiting, in the warm golden rain

The sweet silent reign of the sun

To come again

Are you ready, my Son

For to ride the rainbow of his light?

I am ready, my father

For to ride this rainbow of your light
